Ingredients

1 (4-pound) boneless pork loin, with fat left on
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon dried basil or 2 teaspoons fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

Directions

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.

Place the pork loin on a rack in a roasting pan. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. With your fingers, massage the mixture onto the pork loin, covering all of the meat and fat.

Roast the pork for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 425 degrees F and roast for an additional hour. Test for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to sit for about 20 minutes before carving. It will continue to cook while it rests.

This pork tenderloin is insanely good!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly. served it over a toasted pecan couscous i made. it was out of this world insaely good. made it... for my family to introduce a new recipe into a family where old favorites are the only things they make.. and they pretty much fell off their chairs.. i highly recommend the toasted pecan couscous to serve it over, and maybe some greens, a yummy mixed green salad would be great to the mix. i made this over a year ago and am going crazy writing reviews tonight.. ill be making this for them next week when i go to visit.Read more

Watch the temperature
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

If you are able to leave the pork loin in the oven for as long as this recipe calls for, then there is something wrong with... your oven. Go by internal temp, and check it EARLY, no later than 20 minutes after reducing the temperatureRead more

Very moist!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the first pork loin I made. I picked it up at the store planning on making it in the crock pot but found this... recipe and decided to try it. I had to substitue italian seasoning for the rosemary and basil (we were out). My pork loin did reach the right temp about 10 minutes earlier than the time listed in the recipe. I was worried about the amt of salt and the high temp initially after reading the reviews but we loved it!! I will definitely be making this again. It would be a good recipe for company.Read more
