Ingredients
- 3 pound pork loin roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees
- Add pork loin to a roasting dish with the fat side up. Pat the meat dry with a paper towel.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of oil over the pork loin evenly and spread it evenly over the top of the meat.
- Mix the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, rosemary and ground mustard together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mix all over the pork, then give it a generous rub with a clean hand to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Cook the pork loin for about 60-75 minutes for a 3lb. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the inside of the pork loin reaches an internal temperature of 145.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Transfer the pork to a clean cutting board and allow the meat to rest for 15 minutes. You can add a clean piece of foil over the meat to help keep the outside warm while the inside of the meat rests. Don't cut into the meat before letting it rest, it can make the meat dry! Pork loin will have a slight blush of pink color inside.
- Slice the pork loin into ¾ to 1 inch thick slicees. Serve with a drizzle of the pan juices over all the slices or make my pork gravy with the drippings and serve.

Notes
- If your pork loin is bigger it make take longer to cook. In general, a pork loin will take 20-25 minutes of cooking per pound of meat.
