🐖 Pork Loin Roast Recipe
Ingredients
- 3–4 lb (1.5–2 kg) pork loin roast
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or fresh sprigs)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Optional: 1 cup chicken broth or white wine for roasting
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2️⃣ Prepare the Pork
- Pat the pork loin dry.
- Mix olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
- Rub mixture all over the pork.
3️⃣ Sear the Meat (Optional but Recommended)
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown (2–3 minutes per side).
4️⃣ Roast
- Place pork in a roasting pan.
- Optional: pour broth or wine into the pan to keep the meat moist.
- Roast for 20 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
5️⃣ Rest the Meat
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- This keeps the pork juicy and tender.
6️⃣ Serve
- Slice into ½-inch pieces.
- Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or gravy.
✅ Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a honey-mustard glaze during the last 15 minutes of roasting.
- Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness—avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
