Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork loin
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the pork loin under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine chopped garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create a flavorful rub.

Step 4

Using your hands, generously coat the pork loin with the herb and spice mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.

Step 5

Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned pork loin on all sides for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat, brush the top of the pork loin with Dijon mustard for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 7

Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the skillet around the pork loin to keep it moist and flavorful while roasting.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes to lock in the juices.

Step 10

Slice the pork loin into thick, even pieces and serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
