Simple Savory Pork Roast

Ingredients

  • /2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
  • teaspoons garlic salt
  • /2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • /4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • pounds boneless pork loin roast

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    First, I preheat my oven to 350°F so it’s ready when the roast is. In a large resealable bag, I combine the fresh rosemary, garlic salt, thyme, and black pepper. Then I place the pork loin inside, seal the bag, and give it a good shake and massage to coat every inch of the meat with the seasoning mix. This method ensures a flavorful crust. Next, I transfer the roast to a baking dish, making sure to pour any leftover seasoning from the bag over the top. I pop it into the oven and let it cook for about an hour. The key is using a meat thermometer—I pull it out when the internal temperature hits 160°F for perfectly cooked pork. Once it’s done, I let it rest for 10 minutes under foil to lock in the juices. Carving against the grain yields tender slices.

Chef's Tip

I always let the roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly and stay juicy. Also, if you prefer a crispier crust, sear it in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side before baking.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Slice before storing to make reheating quick. Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F with a splash of broth or in the microwave, covered, to retain moisture.

Variation Tips

Swap rosemary for sage or oregano for a different herbal note. Add a smear of Dijon mustard before coating for extra tang. Serve with roasted Brussels sprouts or a crisp green salad dressed in olive oil and lemon to complete the keto meal.
