Pat dry the rolled and tied pork loin with a paper towel. Make slits using a knife around the skin of the pork loin.

Rub sea salt and pepper around the loin.

Mix dried herbs like thyme, sage, and rosemary in a bowl with olive oil.

Rub the mixture around the pork loin. Insert the remaining mixture and garlic in the slits that were made.

Place the pork loin in a deep tray. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius. Cook for an hour.

Remove the pork loin from the oven. Transfer this to a chopping board to rest for at least 10 to 20 minutes.

In making the au jus, use the drippings from the deep tray. Place this on the stove top in low to medium heat. Add beef broth, red wine, salt, pepper, and butter. Stir to melt the butter.

Remove the twine around the cooked pork loin. Be sure to wear kitchen gloves.

Slice the loin into serving pieces. Plate and use a spoon to drizzle the au jus over the meat.
