Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, minced garlic cloves, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to form a paste.
Place the pork loin on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork loin, ensuring that it is well-coated on all sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Sear the pork loin in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Once seared, remove from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the pork loin.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the pork loin, not directly over it, to avoid washing off the herb crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a moist result.
Slice the pork loin and serve with your choice of sides, drizzling any leftover pan juices over the servings for additional flavor.
