Prepare a 3 lb boneless pork loin roast for cooking.

In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon rind, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary, 4 cloves of finely chopped garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to create the rub.

Rub the mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it covers all sides.

Pour the remaining olive oil into the bottom of the roasting pan and spread it evenly.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the oil in the pan and stir for about a minute to loosen any brown bits.

Add 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of water to the pan, stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Strain the gravy through a sieve into a measuring jug once thickened.

Slice the pork roast and serve it on a plate with the thickened gravy poured over the top.
