What You Will Need

- soy sauce – if you want it to be Paleo/Whole30/Gluten-Free you can sub this with coconut aminos.
- lemon juice – just a bit of acidity really brings out all the great flavors.
- white onion – we grated an onion for this one because it really gives off a lot of great flavor that goes will with the pork roast.
- garlic – because everything is better with garlic!
- dijon mustard – this mustard really compliments the pork nicely!
Should You Pierce Meat Before Marinating
This is up to you! You can marinate it either way, but piercing the meat before pouring the marinade on top does allow the marinade to go as deep into the meat as possible. If you do choose to pierce the pork roast you can simply use a fork to do this.
How Long Should You Marinate Pork
We recommend that you marinate it for at least 30 minutes but if you are planning ahead you could marinate it for as long as 3-4 days in the fridge.

Pat Johnson says
Can you cook the pork roast in the marinade or remove it first. This marinade tastes great but want to check.
Erin says
Hi Pat – generally with marinades you discard any remaining marinade and cook your protein with some marinade still on – I haven’t tried just cooking the pork in the entire marinade before, if that’s what you are asking!
Deanne says
Just popped mine in the oven, I used Chinese sweet soy and also added a few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, will post here after tea tonight 😋
Nancy Smith says
I am trying this today but unfortunately, I paid attention only to the name of the recipe and not the details. I appears to be a sauce, not a marinade which is what I wanted. Might want to rename it. Right now my pork is marinading in the sauce. I am hoping that it has enough punch to tenderize the meat.
Erin says
Hi Nancy – this is definitely a pork roast marinade and not a sauce so your pork should be good!
