Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork loin
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pork loin on a large cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then combine them in a small bowl with the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Rub the garlic and herb mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown all over.
Transfer the seared pork loin to a roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the bottom of the pan.
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven, uncovered. Roast for approximately 20 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork loin into thin pieces and serve with the pan juices drizzled on top.
