Elevate your pork roast with this vibrant, herbaceous crust! A simple, from-scratch rub infuses the meat with incredible flavor, creating a truly memorable centerpiece.
Allow the pork sirloin roast to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking. (Time: 30 minutes)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Time: 10 minutes)
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, chopped sage, lemon zest, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and coarsely ground black pepper. (Time: 5 minutes)
Generously coat the entire pork sirloin roast with the herb mixture, ensuring an even layer. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan. (Time: 5 minutes)
Roast in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 150 degrees F (66 degrees C) for medium doneness. (Time: 45-60 minutes)
Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute. (Time: 10-15 minutes)
For best results, use fresh herbs. Dried herbs can be substituted, but use half the amount. Don't skip the resting period! It's crucial for a juicy and tender roast. Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
