Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Rub the pork loin with olive oil all over, ensuring even coverage.
Step 4
Apply the herb and garlic mixture thoroughly onto the pork loin, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
Place the seasoned pork loin into a roasting pan.
Step 6
Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the bottom of the pan to provide moisture while cooking.
Step 7
Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached for medium doneness.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Step 9
Slice the pork loin into even pieces and serve with your choice of sides.
