Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pork loin on a large cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then combine them in a small bowl with the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

Rub the garlic and herb mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown all over.

Step 6

Transfer the seared pork loin to a roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven, uncovered. Roast for approximately 20 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice the pork loin into thin pieces and serve with the pan juices drizzled on top.
