Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless pork loin roast
- 2 tablespoons coarse ground black pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 medium lemon, juiced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and set it on a clean surface.
In a small bowl, mix the coarse black pepper, kosher salt, minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, and thyme to form a paste.
Rub the pepper and herb mixture evenly over the surface of the pork roast, ensuring all sides are well coated.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, scatter the sliced onion as a base layer.
Place the seasoned pork roast on top of the onion slices, fat side facing up.
Pour the chicken or vegetable stock and lemon juice into the bottom of the pan to keep the roast moist and flavorful during cooking.
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
About halfway through roasting, baste the roast with the pan juices to enhance its flavor and prevent drying out.
Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork roast into thick pieces and serve with the caramelized onions and pan drippings spooned over the top.
