Herb-Roasted Pork Loin Roast

Few meals feel as special — and as simple — as a perfectly cooked pork loin roast. This dish not only serves as a centerpiece for gatherings but also embodies the essence of comfort food. At Big Horn Mountain Farms, our pasture-raised pork is renowned for its unbeatable flavor and tenderness, which elevates any meal to a new level of deliciousness. With just a little seasoning and a bit of time in the oven, you’ll create a dish that is not just worthy of Sunday dinner but also makes for an exquisite treat on any weeknight, bringing warmth and satisfaction to your dining experience.

The pork loin is a lean, tender cut that stands out for its versatility and ease of preparation, making it a favorite among home cooks and professional chefs alike. When roasted properly, it develops a beautifully golden crust that contrasts perfectly with the juicy, moist interior. This delightful combination is especially pronounced when the pork comes from our heritage hogs, which are raised with care right here in Buffalo, WY, where they roam freely on lush pastures, feeding on a natural diet that contributes to the exceptional quality of the meat.

Recipe: Herb-Roasted Pork Loin

Ingredients:

• 1 Big Horn Mountain Farms Pork Loin Roast (2–3 lbs)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ cup preferred broth or water

Instructions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F, allowing it to reach the desired temperature while you prepare the pork loin.

2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, freshly chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant paste. Generously rub this mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring that it is evenly coated for maximum flavor.

3. Next, place the seasoned roast on a rack in a roasting pan. This will allow air to circulate around the meat, promoting even cooking. Pour the broth or water into the bottom of the pan to keep the environment moist during roasting.

4. Roast the pork loin for approximately 50–60 minutes, monitoring the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. You’ll know it’s ready when the temperature reaches 145°F, which will ensure that the meat remains juicy and flavorful.

5. Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and tent it with foil. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing; this resting period helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, enhancing its tenderness and flavor.

✨ Farm Tip: For an added touch, slice the pork loin thinly and serve it alongside a medley of roasted vegetables, which not only complement the pork but also add vibrant color to your plate. Alternatively, consider saving any leftovers for delicious sandwiches, perhaps with a drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce for an effortless and satisfying meal.

At Big Horn Mountain Farms, we are dedicated to raising pork the right way — naturally, locally, and with the utmost care and respect for our animals. This commitment is reflected in every bite of our pork loin, which is not only juicy and flavorful but also perfect for sharing around the table with family and friends, creating memories that last long after the meal is over.
