Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 2.53 kg before cooking, which is about 315 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160 °C) (165°C (325 °F)).
Place the pork loin roast in a roasting pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the Coca-Cola, ketchup, packed brown sugar, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper until the sauce is thoroughly combined and the sugar is incorporated.
Pour the sauce over the pork loin, turning the roast as needed so it is evenly coated on all sides.
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 1 to 1½ hours, or until the pork is nearly cooked through.
Remove the foil. Baste the pork generously with the sauce from the pan.
Continue roasting uncovered for 25–35 minutes, basting as needed, until the glaze has thickened and the center of the pork reaches 145°F (63 °C) (63°C (145 °F)) on an instant-read thermometer.
Transfer the pork loin to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes so the juices can redistribute.
Slice the rested pork loin and serve it with the warm glaze spooned over the top.
Notes
Use an instant-read thermometer and remove the pork from the oven when the center reaches 145°F (63°C) to keep it tender and juicy. The source specifies a 3–4 lb roast, so cooking time may vary; rely on the internal temperature rather than time alone.
