Soup’s Roasted Pork Loin

1 whole pork loin (if loin is more than 10 inches long cut in half)

The Rub: equal mounts of salt, pepper, garlic powder and thyme.

1 pan that can go from stove top to oven (if you don’t have this you will have to transfer to oven pan)

Olive oil (enough to cover bottom of pan)

Brown all sides of pork loin on stove top place in preheated oven on 400 and cook for 45 to 60 minutes until internal temp. is 155. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. If you are not serving right away wrap in foil place into cooler (I have saved them for up to 4 hours when I have done caterings). Slice, serve and enjoy. It’s best served with grilled pineapple chutney.

Note: do not throw away of the pan drippings this is liquid gold! You can brush this on any thing that you are grilling or you can sauté with it as well! You can also make a nice sauce with it by taking two pats of butter and some apple and juice reduce on stove top.
