ingredients

1
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.Place a large roasting pan over 2 burners over medium-high heat. Add oil to coat the bottom and heat. Season the pork loin with salt and pepper. Place the loin in the roasting pan and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
2
In a food processor, combine the garlic, rosemary, sage, and thyme. Process until smooth. Add enough oil to make the mixture a good, spreadable consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Remove the pork from the heat. Carefully rub the garlic/herb mixture over the pork loin.
4
Roast until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
