Learn how to make a tender and juicy pork loin roast using simple ingredients. This easy pork dinner is perfect for a weeknight meal or a satisfying Sunday roast, complete with instructions for a simple pan sauce.

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 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels. This helps create a nice 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 roast evenly with the olive oil.
  5. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled roast, pressing gently so the seasoning sticks.
  6. Place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet.
  7. Roast for 15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit on a meat thermometer, which usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes per pound.
  9. Remove the pork loin roast from the oven when it hits 145 degrees Fahrenheit internal temperature.
  10. Transfer the roast to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time is key for a juicy pork loin.
  11. While the pork rests, make a quick pan sauce gravy using the drippings in the roasting pan. Whisk in a tablespoon of flour, then slowly add 1 cup of broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer until thickened.
  12. Slice the roast against the grain and serve immediately with the pan sauce.

Notes

  • For the juiciest results, aim for an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature will rise slightly while resting.
  • If you prefer a crispier exterior, you can sear the roast in a hot, oven-safe skillet on all sides before placing it in the oven.
  • This recipe works well for a simple weeknight dinner or a larger Sunday roast.
