Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork loin
• 6 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 cup unsalted chicken broth
• 1 cup white wine

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 cutting board.

Step 3

Combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl to create a paste-like mixture.

Step 4

Rub the garlic-herb paste all over the pork loin, ensuring you coat all sides evenly.

Step 5

Place the pork loin on a roasting rack set inside a large roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth and white wine into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the roast moist during cooking.

Step 6

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork loin (avoiding the bone, if applicable).

Step 7

Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the pan juices every 20 minutes for extra flavor.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

While the pork is resting, skim off any excess fat from the pan juices and transfer the remaining liquid to a small saucepan. Simmer the liquid over medium heat until slightly reduced to create a delicious sauce.

Step 10

Slice the rested pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve with the reduced pan sauce drizzled on top.
