📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the pork: Whisk together the salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small bowl. Pat the pork dry, then rub all over with the spice mixture to coat. Let sit until the pork comes to room temperature, at least ⏱️ 30 minutes and up to ⏱️ 1 hour.
2
Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Toss the onion and thyme sprigs with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet. Pile the onion in the center of the skillet and place the pork loin on top, fat-side up. Roast until golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145˚F, 50 to ⏱️ 60 minutes.

While the pork roasts, make the glaze: Whisk together the orange juice, honey, chipotles, adobo sauce, olive oil, thyme, salt and garlic in a small bowl. Remove ½ cup to another small bowl for brushing, reserving the rest for the pan sauce.
4
During the last ⏱️ 20 minutes of roasting, brush the pork with the ½ cup glaze, brushing every 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest for 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes.
5
Remove the thyme sprigs, then place the skillet over medium heat. Add the reserved glaze and bring to a simmer; cook until slightly reduced, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Whisk in the butter and vinegar. Transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth.

Slice the pork and serve with the sauce.
