Method

  • step 1

    Tip all the marinade ingredients into a shallow dish and stir to combine. Coat the pork in the marinade and, if you have time, leave for 1 hr or even better overnight. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.

  • step 2

    Heat an ovenproof pan and take the pork out of the marinade. Brown on all sides, then baste over the rest of the marinade and roast the pork for 20 mins until cooked all the way through, basting with its juices every 5 mins or so. Serve the pork sliced with rice and your favourite steamed greens.

I'm sorry to say that I hated the orange flavour! I tried this recipe a little against my better judgement as I always cook pork fillet in a rich Pedro Ximinez sauce which is beyond delicious. No contest, I will be staying with the PX sauce from now on, that orange flavour is just too much!

Cooked this recipe and took some advice from other comments and only used quarter of as large orange, basted every 5 mins and the pork had a wonderful depth of flavour rested for about 5 mins and poured the rest of the marinate, really tasty will defo cook again

Used lime juice cos I forgot to buy oranges. It was delicious. I want it weekly!

Will try oranges next time but my tip is to use lime juice and plonk the meat on a salad.

I thought you were not supposed to baste with sauce in which raw meat had been marinaded! Better to make the marinade and then put some aside to use for basting and marinade in the rest!

Thanks for your feedback. The marinade will be cooking alongside the pork so there's no problem using it to baste. Using an uncooked marinade that had had raw meat in it would however be unsafe to eat.

I was really disappointed by this. I followed the advice in other comments and only used half the amount of orange, but still found this was the dominant flavour. I halved the recipe for two of us and found the quantity of meat simply wasn't enough.
