Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and place it on a cutting board or a clean surface.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and paprika.
Rub the entire surface of the pork loin with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the seasoning mix over it. Rub the seasonings into the meat to ensure it's fully coated.
Slice the garlic cloves into thin slivers. Using a sharp knife, make small incisions in the pork loin and insert the garlic slivers into the meat.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the chicken broth around the pork loin.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 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 let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
Slice the pork loin into thick slices and serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top for added flavor.
