Roast pork loin in grape sauce, a recipe with a citrus flavor, where the grapes become the co-star alongside the meat. Autumn has arrived, and how can one resist its call, its colors, scents, and flavors. The grape sauce paired with the loin is amazing, a perfect blend of aromas and colors, beautiful to look at, great to eat.
It’s not difficult to prepare, and the times aren’t very long, although I used the long cooking method because the meat stays softer and more digestible. But if you are short on time, feel free to use the regular cooking method; it’s just as good. Just make sure to check the meat’s temperature with a proper thermometer, a very useful tool.
Roast pork loin in grape sauce is a perfect main course for special occasions or simply if you feel like trying a slightly alternative recipe. Try it!

Steps for pork loin in grape sauce
Let’s brown the loin in a pan with oil and the garlic clove on all four sides
Transfer the meat to a baking pan where I’ll add the butter on top of the meat, a mince of garlic and rosemary, the wine, soy sauce, pepper, and some grapes.
Bake at 158°F for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, until the meat reaches a temperature of 140°F. If you want faster cooking, set the temperature to about 320°F.
Once cooked, serve on a platter with the grape sauce and a side of speck that you have diced and toasted in a pan with a little oil, 5 minutes before the meat is done. Enjoy your meal
