Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 cup unsalted vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, black pepper, and lemon zest to form a paste.
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Rub the herb paste evenly over the pork loin, ensuring it is well-coated on all sides.
Place the pork loin in a roasting pan. Pour the unsalted vegetable broth into the bottom of the pan, but not over the pork.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with pan juices every 30 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork loin into desired thickness and serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
