Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 (3 pound) boneless top loin pork roast

Directions

Combine oil, pepper, and salt in a bowl; rub oil mixture over pork and refrigerate while the oven preheats.

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

Place pork on a roasting rack set in a large roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Remove pork from the oven and reduce the heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the center. The temperature will range from 80 to 110 degrees F (27 to 43 degrees C).

Allow pork to rest uncovered at room temperature until the internal temperature reaches between 115 and 140 degrees F (46 and 60 degrees C), about 30 minutes.

Return to oven and continue to cook until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 15 to 30 minutes more.

Let the roast stand uncovered at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Cook’s Note

This recipe really requires a good thermometer — either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, a digital probe thermometer that stays in the meat and gives you the temperature from outside the oven if you can swing that.
