Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork loin
- 2 tbsp Coarsely ground black pepper
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Dried rosemary
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the black pepper, minced garlic, salt, paprika, dried thyme, and dried rosemary together.
Step 3
Rub the olive oil all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Step 4
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pork loin, pressing it gently to adhere on all sides.
Step 5
Place the seasoned pork loin in a roasting pan or baking dish.
Step 6
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the pork moist while roasting.
Step 7
Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Remove the pork loin from the oven and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
