Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and trim off any excess fat, leaving a thin layer for flavor and moisture retention.
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Rub the pork loin evenly with olive oil, then massage the herb and spice mixture onto the meat, ensuring it is well coated.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork loin on all sides until evenly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven.
Roast the pork loin for 25-30 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork loin with its juices halfway through cooking.
Remove the pork loin from the oven, tent it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes to keep the juices intact.
While the pork rests, deglaze the skillet with chicken broth over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits. Whisk in butter to create a flavorful pan sauce.
Slice the pork loin into thick cuts and drizzle with the pan sauce before serving.
