Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the pork loin with olive oil all over, ensuring even coverage.
Apply the herb and garlic mixture thoroughly onto the pork loin, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the seasoned pork loin into a roasting pan.
Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the bottom of the pan to provide moisture while cooking.
Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached for medium doneness.
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Slice the pork loin into even pieces and serve with your choice of sides.
