Ingredients
- 1- 4pound boneless pork loin
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- ½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- Add more salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small bowl add the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes and mix until combined.
- Rub the mixture all over the roast even underneath. Place roast fat side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Place the roasting pan in the center of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 375 and roast for an additional 1 hour. Or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Remove pork loin and transfer to a platter. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
- Place roasting pan on the stovetop and add the wine or chicken stock and whisk to loosen any brown bits of flavor. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Slice the pork and serve with pan juices.
Notes
You can substitute the fresh herbs for dried but use about 3/4 teaspoon of dried. Dried herbs are a lot more concentrated than fresh herbs.
If you get a larger roast the cooking time will be extended.
