Roasted Boneless Pork Loin

From The Spruce Eats (adapted)

Ingredients:

  • 4-pound boneless loin

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 to 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon rubbed sage

  • 1 tablespoon rosemary

  • 1 tablespoon thyme

Directions:

  1. About 30 minutes before you plan to start roasting, take the pork loin out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 450 F.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic, salt, pepper, sage, rosemary, and thyme, and mix until a paste forms.

  3. Dry the pork loin with paper towels and rub it all over with the seasoning paste. Set it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.

  4. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 300 F. Let the loin continue roasting for another 40 to 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 150 F.

  5. Take the roast out of the oven and cover it with foil. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes; during this time, the roast's internal temperature will increase to around 155-160 F, which means it is ready to slice.
