Ingredients

• 3 lbs Pork loin
• 8 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and slice the garlic cloves lengthwise into halves.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, make small, evenly spaced incisions all over the pork loin and insert the garlic slices into the slits.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a seasoned paste.

Step 5

Rub the seasoned paste evenly over the entire surface of the pork loin.

Step 6

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 7

Pour the chicken stock into the pan around the pork loin to create a moist cooking environment.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast the pork loin for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 9

Halfway through cooking, baste the pork loin with the pan juices to keep it moist.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

While the pork rests, place the skillet or roasting pan with the cooking juices back on the stovetop over medium heat. Add unsalted butter and whisk to create a flavorful sauce.

Step 12

Slice the pork loin into 1-inch thick pieces and serve with the pan sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy your Garlic Stuffed Pork Loin!
