Pork Loin

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting the pork loin.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Pork Loin

    Place the pork loin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork loin, making sure it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear the Pork Loin

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sear the marinated pork loin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  2. 5

    Roast the Pork Loin

    Transfer the seared pork loin to a roasting pan. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep it moist during cooking. Roast in the preheated oven for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  3. 6

    Rest the Pork Loin

    Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  4. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the pork loin into medallions and serve warm. You can drizzle the cooking juices over the slices for added flavor.
