Title: Easy Bone-In Pork Loin
Ingredients:
– 1 bone-in pork loin (4-5 pounds)
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
– 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder
– 1 teaspoon of paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a roasting pan with foil for easy clean-up.
2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a fragrant herb rub.
3. Place the bone-in pork loin in the prepared roasting pan. Using your hands, generously rub the herb mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
4. Once the pork loin is seasoned, cover the roasting pan with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
5. Roast the pork loin, covered, for about 1 hour. After an hour, remove the foil and continue roasting for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork loin reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
6. Once cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender pork loin.
7. Slice the bone-in pork loin into thick, juicy portions and serve hot alongside your favorite side dishes. Whether paired with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad, this easy bone-in pork loin is sure to be a hit at the dinner table.
