OVEN ROASTED PORK LOIN RECIPES

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together brown sugar, white sugar, black pepper, salt, ginger, garlic powder, onion salt, dry mustard, cayenne, cumin, paprika and crushed thyme.
• Make small slits and stuff a garlic clove in the slit (do this all over the roast).
• Rub the pork loin all over generously with olive oil then rub the roast all over with about 1/2 to 3/4 cup dry using your hands to rub in the spices (store the remaining rub tightly covered in a glass jar in refrigerator to use for the next time).
• Cover the roast with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Place roast in a foil-lined shallow roasting pan.
• Let the roast sit out at room temperature for a couple hours.
• Roast uncovered at 350 degrees F until the internal temperature is 150°F the cooking time will vary depending on the size of your roast.
• Remove and cover with foil, let stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
• *NOTE* Store the remaining half of the spice rub in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in the black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, dry mustard powder, and garlic. Cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• With a sharp knife, make several small slits in the pork roast. Place the roast into a roasting pan, and spread the spice mixture all over the roast and in the incisions. Surround the roast with celery, carrots, and onion, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the pork roast is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 2 hours. About 15 minutes before the end of cooking, turn the oven temperature up to 425 to help brown the roast.
• Remove pork roast from oven, and allow to stand for about 10 minutes before slicing. Check temperature again; roast temperature should be at least 160 degrees F (75 degrees C) before serving.
• While roast is resting, place the roasting pan containing vegetables and pan drippings over a stove burner set to medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and simmer the drippings and flour for about 3 minutes to remove raw taste from flour. Whisk in the pork stock, a little at a time, until the gravy is thickened. Strain the gravy, and serve with the roast.
