Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, club soda, olive oil, Truvía® natural sweetener, vinegar, lemon juice and zest, basil, parsley, mustard, celery seed, mustard seed and garlic.
- Tenderize the pork loin by placing on a cutting board. Take two forks with both hands and simultaneously jab the fork into the loin multiple times to pierce.

- Remove roast from bag, place in a roasting pan, and save marinade.

- Remove roast from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes (it will continue to cook during this resting stage). Confirm internal temperature has reached 160°F prior to serving.
- Serve with wild brown rice or string beans.
