Ingredients:
- 3-4 lb pork loin roast
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Pork:
- Rub the mustard mixture all over the pork loin roast, making sure it’s well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C).
