Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.

Step 5

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels then rub the herb paste all over the pork.

Step 6

Place the pork on a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan.

Step 7

Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 25 minutes to create a crust.

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (356°F) and continue roasting for an additional 45 to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (158°F).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

To make the gravy, place the roasting pan over medium heat on the stove.

Step 11

Add 3 tablespoons of butter to the pan drippings and allow it to melt.

Step 12

Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and pan drippings, then whisk continuously to form a paste.

Step 13

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while continuing to whisk, ensuring no lumps form.

Step 14

Let the gravy simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, whisking occasionally until it thickens.

Step 15

Season the gravy with additional salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.

Step 16

Sieve the gravy to remove any lumps or cooked bits for a smooth texture.
