Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 rack (about 1.5 lbs) Pork loin rib rack
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin rib rack dry with paper towels and place it on a cutting board. If necessary, trim any excess fat, but leave a thin layer for flavor and moisture during cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to form a paste.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork loin rib rack, ensuring even coverage on both sides.
Place the seasoned pork rack on a roasting pan or a baking sheet lined with foil, rib-side down.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding the bones.
Roast the pork rack in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork rack from the oven and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to retain the juices.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut between the ribs to create individual chops.
Serve the pork chops warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted potatoes or sautéed vegetables.
