Ingredients

• 1.5 kg pork loin roast
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 4 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a paste.

Step 4

Place the pork loin on a roasting pan fitted with a rack, fat side up.

Step 5

Rub the mustard herb mixture all over the surface of the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 6

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork loin, avoiding the bone if using bone-in pork.

Step 7

Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 65-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for a medium-rare to medium finish. If you prefer it more well-done, cook until the internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice the pork into thick slices and serve it warm. Optionally, pair it with roasted vegetables or a grain salad for a complete meal.
