Ingredients

1 (2 1/2 pound) Pork, fresh, loin, sirloin (chops or roasts), boneless, separable lean and fat, raw
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

Bring roast to room temperature by removing from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine olive oil, garlic, thyme, sage, lemon zest, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Spread rub over roast until completely coated. Place on a rack in a roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 150 degrees F (66 degrees C).
Remove from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
