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