Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 about 3 pounds boneless pork loin roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for searing
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and pat the pork loin dry.
  2. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub this mixture evenly over the pork roast.
Cooking
  1. Heat a bit more olive oil in a hot, oven-safe skillet. Sear the pork for about 2 minutes on each side until browned.
  2. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork until the thickest part reaches 145 degrees F, about 45 to 60 minutes depending on the roast's size and thickness.
  3. When done, transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Slice across the grain and serve with the resting juices.

Notes

Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. The juices from the roast enhance the flavor. For storage, keep sliced pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, or wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
