Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels, then season it evenly with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme.
Rub the garlic and herb mixture all over the pork loin, pressing gently so it adheres to the meat.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the skillet from heat, then pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the pork loin. Dot the top of the pork with small pieces of the butter.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for 50-60 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 145°F (63°C).
Every 15 minutes, baste the pork loin with the pan juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and tent the pork loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced pork loin with the pan juices drizzled on top or on the side as a sauce. Enjoy!
