This pork roast recipe is easy to make and tastes incredible. Unlike my other pork roast recipe, I apply the sauce to this one before baking so that the honey mustard sauce for pork turns into a caramelized layer of sweet and tangy heaven. Yum!

Tips for making pork roast with mustard sauce
You can use jarred minced garlic for the sauce (I do). But having the sliced cloves in the meat is nice because 1- it looks pretty and 2- roasted garlic close taste awesome, so it’s like a nice treat.
Your pork will be finished cooking when the internal temperature is a minimum of 145F degrees. It may still be pink inside as this is considered rare for pork, but try not to exceed an internal temperature of 165F degrees because then you risk it being overcooked and dry. No one liked dry pork.
With the sweet and tangy sauce on this pork roast, it pairs really great with fresh green salads or an Italian flavored side dish like green beans. You can also pull from the sweetness aspect and serve it with some baked beans as a nice change of pace. It can be served with just about anything and feel complimentary.
