Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 to 4 pounds boneless pork loin roast
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Liquid Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the pork loin roast. Pat the meat dry with paper towels to ensure perfect seasoning adherence.
- Brush the entire 3-4 pound roast with 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, creating a flavorful base layer.
- Combine 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
- Massage the spice blend thoroughly into every surface of your roast, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Position oven rack in the center and preheat to 425°F.
- Place the seasoned roast fat-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Roast at 425°F for precisely 15 minutes to develop a delicious exterior crust.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue roasting for 40-60 minutes.
- Check internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. Remove when it reaches exactly 145°F.
- Tent the roast loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 8-10 minutes.
- Slice the roast into ½-inch thick pieces against the grain.
- Transfer slices to a serving platter and drizzle any accumulated pan juices over the top.
Notes
- Always trim the fat cap before seasoning to help the roast cook more evenly and prevent excess grease.
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check internal temperature, ensuring perfect doneness without overcooking.
- Let the roast rest after cooking so the juices redistribute, keeping the meat tender and preventing dryness when slicing.
- For a low-carb or paleo-friendly option, replace onion and garlic powder with fresh minced garlic and onions for added flavor complexity.
