Chef Lynn’s Herb Roasted Pork Loin
Nothing says Holiday and Family like Pork. My wish for you is that you surround yourself with family and fill your home with the aroma of the holidays.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon loosely packed lemon zest
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, pressed
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon finely crushed coriander seeds
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 (2 1/2- to 3-lb.) boneless pork loin
3 tablespoons olive oil
Vegetable cooking spray
Preparation
1. Combine first 10 ingredients in a small bowl. Rub over pork. Chill, uncovered, 8 to 12 hours.
2. Let pork stand at room temperature 30 minutes. (Bringing it to room temperature will help it cook faster and more evenly.)
3. Preheat oven to 400°. Cook pork in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Lightly grease a wire rack with cooking spray. Place pork on rack in a roasting pan.
4. Bake at 400° for 35 to 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 135°. Remove from oven, and let stand 15 minutes before serving.
