HERB ROASTED PORK LOIN


Description

This recipe will evoke fond memories of big family Sunday dinners. An easy pork roast flavored with garlic, shallots and herbs that will allow you to prepare dinner and still enjoy time with your family.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (4 pound) boneless pork loin
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 shallots, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. In a large ziplock bag, combine all ingredients except the pork loin. Zip the bag and use your hands to massage and fully combine all the ingredients. Unzip the bag and add the pork loin. Zip again, and massage the herb and oil mixture into the pork loin, making sure that all sides are well coated. Set aside for at least a half hour or refrigerate overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a roasting rack into a roasting pan. Set aside.
  3. Remove the pork loin from the marinade in the ziplock bag and place, fat side up, on the roasting rack. Pour any leftover oil and herbs on top of the roast.
  4. Roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 140-145 degrees-about 60-75 minutes. Remember that the temperature will rise another 5 to 15 degrees while the meat rests.
  5. Remove pork from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Tent with foil and allow to rest for 15-25 minutes before slicing.
  6. Slice the meat thinly and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon some of the pan juices over top, if desired.
