Creamy Mushroom Oven-Baked Pork Loin

Pork loin is browned in butter with rosemary, then finished in the oven while onions, garlic and mushrooms become a creamy soy-seasoned pan sauce. Cumin and dried garlic echo through both components, creating a rich main course with deep savoury flavour.

What you'll need.

  • 700 g pork loin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin, divided
  • 1 tsp dried garlic, divided
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 rosemary sprigs
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 250 g button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 200 ml broth
  • 150 ml cream
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

How to make it.

  1. Season the pork with salt, pepper, half the cumin and half the dried garlic, then brown in butter with rosemary.
  2. Transfer the pork to a baking dish and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Fry the onion, chopped garlic and mushrooms in oil until golden.
  4. Add the broth, cream, remaining cumin, dried garlic, pepper and soy sauce and simmer until slightly thickened.
  5. Rest and slice the pork, then serve with the creamy mushroom sauce.

My tips.

Rest the pork before slicing so its juices remain in the meat. For a thicker sauce, simmer it uncovered for a few extra minutes.

Good to know.

Can I use pork tenderloin?
Yes. Reduce the oven time because tenderloin is smaller and leaner.

Can I make the sauce ahead?
Yes. Reheat it gently and add a splash of broth if needed.

What should I serve with it?
Mashed potatoes, rice or green vegetables all work well.
