Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and trim any excess fat.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the olive oil and herb mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet with the pork loin to the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, prepare the creamy Dijon yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Once the pork loin is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
Slice the pork loin into medallions and serve with a generous spoonful of the creamy Dijon yogurt sauce on top or on the side.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
