Instructions

Make the Garlic-Herb Marinade: Crush fennel seeds in a mortar and pestle. Add garlic, rosemary, sage, dill, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and olive oil. Smash the marinade ingredients until the mixture turns into a paste. Alternatively, you can use a food processor for this step.
Marinate the Pork Loin Roast: Trim the fat or leave it on if you prefer. Score the roast on both sides with a sharp knife. Rub the garlic-herb paste all over the pork. Transfer to a large ziptop bag and marinate it in the fridge overnight.
Sous Vide the Pork: When ready to cook, preheat water to 140°F (60°C) for medium, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or 145°F (63°C) for well-done using a sous vide machine. Submerge the pork into the water bath using the water displacement method. Set the timer for 3-5 hours.
Finish the Pork: Remove the pork from the water bath once the timer goes off. Open the bag and transfer the pork to a large plate, reserving the cooking juice in the bag. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Once the skillet is hot, add a splash of olive oil and place the pork into the skillet to sear, about one minute on each side, pressing it down using a pot lid. Once the pork is golden brown outside, transfer it onto a cutting board to rest. Alternatively, you can place the pork under a broiler over high heat for 5-7 minutes to finish.
Make the Serving Sauce: Pour the cooking juice from the bag into the same skillet. Bring it to a boil, scraping off the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer. Stir in honey and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve: Slice the pork roast, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve it with the sauce.
