  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 center-cut pork loin
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the herb crust by mixing thyme, rosemary, garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl until paste-like.
  3. Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and rub the herb mixture all over the loin.
  4. Sear the pork loin in a roasting pan over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden crust forms.
  5. Transfer to the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.
  7. Slice into thick pieces and serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

Using a meat thermometer can help ensure the pork is perfectly cooked. Allowing the meat to come to room temperature before cooking can prevent dryness.
