Ingredients

  • 3 lb boneless pork loin
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped rosemary
  • 1 tbsp chopped thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Mix garlic, herbs, oil, salt and pepper and rub all over the pork.
  2. Sear in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, 8 minutes.
  3. Roast 45 to 55 minutes until it reads 140°F in the center.
  4. Rest 15 minutes under foil (it will climb to 145°F). Deglaze the skillet with broth for a quick sauce, slice and serve.

TipPull it at 140°F; the temperature rises during resting, and pork loin turns dry above 150°F.
