Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin (boneless)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and place it on a large baking sheet or roasting pan.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 4

Rub the marinade all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the pork loin in the oven and roast for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 6

While the pork is roasting, prepare the creamy Dijon sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.

Step 7

Whisk in the Dijon mustard, followed by the chicken broth, stirring constantly.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes before reducing the heat to low.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Keep warm on low heat.

Step 10

Once the pork loin is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board, tented with aluminum foil.

Step 11

Slice the pork loin into thick slices and serve warm with the creamy Dijon sauce drizzled over the top or on the side.
