Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 cup unsalted vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, black pepper, and lemon zest to form a paste.
Step 3
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Rub the herb paste evenly over the pork loin, ensuring it is well-coated on all sides.
Step 4
Place the pork loin in a roasting pan. Pour the unsalted vegetable broth into the bottom of the pan, but not over the pork.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with pan juices every 30 minutes.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 7
Slice the pork loin into desired thickness and serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
