Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg pork loin roast
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 250 ml white wine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 unit yellow onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels and place it on a clean surface.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to form a seasoning paste.
Rub the seasoning paste all over the pork loin, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork loin on all sides until evenly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet, spreading it out around the pork.
Pour the white wine into the skillet, ensuring the bottom is deglazed by scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon.
Tent the skillet or roasting pan loosely with aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Roast the pork in the oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for medium doneness.
Remove the aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes of roasting to allow the top of the pork to develop a golden crust.
Once roasted, remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Use the onions and the pan juices as a natural sauce to drizzle over the sliced pork.
Serve the French roast pork warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad.
