Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels, removing any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a paste.
Step 4
Rub the Dijon paste evenly over the entire surface of the pork loin.
Step 5
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork loin on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to deglaze it.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it with foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
Step 9
Place the skillet with the pan juices over medium heat and whisk in the butter to create a simple pan sauce.
Step 10
Slice the rested pork loin into 1-inch thick slices and serve with the pan sauce drizzled over the top.
