Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, minced garlic cloves, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to form a paste.
Step 3
Place the pork loin on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Step 4
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork loin, ensuring that it is well-coated on all sides.
Step 5
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Sear the pork loin in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Step 7
Once seared, remove from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the pork loin.
Step 8
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the pork loin, not directly over it, to avoid washing off the herb crust.
Step 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 10
Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a moist result.
Step 11
Slice the pork loin and serve with your choice of sides, drizzling any leftover pan juices over the servings for additional flavor.
