Pork on the bone in the oven
4 servings
40 minutes
Pork on the bone in the oven is a true delight for lovers of juicy and aromatic meat. This recipe has roots in Pan-Asian cuisine, where a marinade based on soy sauce and spices gives the meat a rich, deep flavor with spicy notes. Thanks to a special cooking technique, the pieces of pork are infused with aromas while remaining soft and tender inside, with a golden, crispy crust outside. Adding fat into the slits makes the meat even juicier. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive table and can be complemented with fresh vegetables, rice or noodles. Each piece of this pork is a harmony of flavors, richness and warmth of home cooking.
1
Rinse the pork chops with bone under cold water and remove moisture with a paper towel.
- Pork loin: 2 pieces
2
Make 3-4 cuts across the meat fibers with a small knife. Pour soy sauce mixed with a teaspoon of spices over the meat on the bone. Let it marinate for 3-4 hours at room temperature or 6-8 hours in the cool of the refrigerator.
- Soy sauce: 50 ml
- Mix of peppers: 0.5 teaspoon
- Dried marjoram: 0.5 teaspoon
3
We trim excess fat from the sides, cut it into squares, and place them in the made slits so that the fat sticks out from both sides of the piece of pork (the meat will be much juicier).
4
Preheat the oven to 260 degrees, place a rack and a baking tray underneath it (if there's no rack, just use the tray). The meat for the oven should be at room temperature, so if you marinated it in a cool place, let it sit in warmth for a bit before the oven. Allow the marinade to drip off and place the steaks on the rack. Put the rack on the top shelf of the oven.

Roast the pork on the bone for 25-30 minutes depending on the thickness of the piece. The meat should be covered with a golden brown crust, and the bone should darken.
