Garlic Herb Crust

Our daughter-in-law Susan prepared a wonderful dinner serving a beef tenderloin with this recipe of Garlic Herb Crust. It was absolutely delicious. We thought this recipe would also be very tasty on a pork loin roast.

4 garlic cloves
8 fresh sage leaves
4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
4 to 5 pound boneless beef loin

Directions:
With a food processor motor running, drop garlic cloves in, blend until finely chopped. Add sage, thyme, oil, salt and pepper and process until a paste forms.
