I serve this pork roast often when I'm entertaining company. It's especially good with garden-fresh herbs, but dried work nicely as well. It makes a stunning presentation. —Michele Montgomery, Lethbridge, Alberta
Herb-Stuffed Pork Loin
Yield:12 servings
Prep:20 min
Cook:1 hour 20 min
Ingredients
- 1 boneless pork loin roast (3 pounds)
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup minced chives
- 1/4 cup minced fresh sage or 4 teaspoons rubbed sage
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 2-3/4 teaspoons pepper, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
-
1Starting about a third of the way in from 1 side, make a lengthwise slit down the roast to within 1/2 in. of the bottom. Turn roast over and make another lengthwise slit, starting about a third of the way in from the opposite side. Open roast so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 3/4-in. thickness; remove plastic wrap.
-
2Combine mustard and garlic; rub two-thirds of the mixture over roast. Combine the chives, sage, thyme, rosemary, 3/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle two-thirds of the herb mixture over roast. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; tie several times with kitchen string. Rub oil over roast; sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper.
-
3Lightly oil grill rack and prepare grill for indirect heat using a drip pan. Place roast over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat (or bake, uncovered, at 350°) for 1 hour.
-
4Brush remaining mustard mixture over roast; sprinkle with remaining herb mixture. Grill or bake until a thermometer reads 160°, 20-25 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
