Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels and place it on a clean cutting board.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Rub the entire surface of the pork loin roast with the herb paste, ensuring an even coating.
Place the roast in a roasting pan or large oven-safe skillet, fat side up.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the roast moist during cooking.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
About halfway through the cooking time, baste the roast with the pan drippings for added flavor and moisture.
Once cooked, remove the pork loin roast from the oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes, tented with aluminum foil to retain heat.
While the roast rests, place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat and add the butter to the pan drippings.
Whisk the mixture until it reduces slightly and forms a flavorful pan sauce.
Carve the pork loin roast into slices and serve with the pan sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
