Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork loin
- 2 tbsp Coarsely ground black pepper
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Dried rosemary
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix the black pepper, minced garlic, salt, paprika, dried thyme, and dried rosemary together.
Rub the olive oil all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pork loin, pressing it gently to adhere on all sides.
Place the seasoned pork loin in a roasting pan or baking dish.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the pork moist while roasting.
Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork loin from the oven and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
