Make a tender, juicy pork loin roast using simple ingredients. This recipe provides clear oven times and internal temperature guidance for perfect slices every time, ideal for a weeknight dinner or Sunday roast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb pork loin roast, bone-out
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels. This helps create a good crust.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder.
  4. Rub the entire surface of the pork loin with olive oil, then evenly coat it with the spice mixture.
  5. Place the seasoned pork loin in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet.
  6. Roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes per pound after the initial high-heat blast.
  8. Remove the pork loin roast from the oven when it reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit internal temperature.
  9. Transfer the roast to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making your pork loin juicy.
  10. Slice against the grain and serve immediately. You can make a simple pan sauce gravy using the drippings.

Notes

  • For a simple pan sauce gravy, place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour and cook for one minute. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth. Simmer until thickened, then season to taste.
  • Always use a meat thermometer to check for the correct pork loin internal temp of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for safe and juicy results.
