Preparation
Step 1
1. Heat oven to 450F. Rinse the roast and pat dry.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 TBS of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub seasoning mixture all over pork loin. Spread remaining olive oil evenly over the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the pork in the pan.
3. Roast at 450F for 30 minutes; lower the temperature to 350F and continue roasting for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature is 155F. Remove the pork to a cutting board; cover with foil and let stand 15 minutes or until the temperature reaches 160F. Slice and serve.
GRAVY:
1. Use 2 cups of water (water left over from cooking potatoes is preferred). Remove the roast from the pan and drain off all but 2 TBS of fat (if there is any). Place the pan on the stove top, pour in the water, and let sit a few minutes. Scrape up browned bits from pan. Pour juice through a strainer into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce liquid by half. Reduce heat to medium low, taste and add salt to taste. Thicken with cornstarch dissolved in 1 TBS water.
