Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg pork loin roast
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 4 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a paste.
Place the pork loin on a roasting pan fitted with a rack, fat side up.
Rub the mustard herb mixture all over the surface of the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork loin, avoiding the bone if using bone-in pork.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 65-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for a medium-rare to medium finish. If you prefer it more well-done, cook until the internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F).
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork into thick slices and serve it warm. Optionally, pair it with roasted vegetables or a grain salad for a complete meal.
