Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork loin roast
• 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 6 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, score the fat cap lightly in a crosshatch pattern.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and olive oil to create a rub. Rub this mixture all over the pork.

Step 4

Peel and smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to release their flavor. Tuck the smashed garlic and rosemary sprigs under the fat cap and into the scored slits on the pork.

Step 5

Place the pork fat-side up in a roasting pan. Add the chicken broth to the pan to help keep the meat moist during cooking.

Step 6

Roast the pork in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with pan juices every 20-30 minutes for added flavor.

Step 7

Remove the pork from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

While the pork is resting, make the pan sauce. Place the roasting pan with the drippings on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the lemon juice and unsalted butter, whisking to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Slice the pork roast into thick slices and serve with the rosemary-garlic pan sauce drizzled over the top.
