How to Roast Pork Loin
Prepare the Pork Loin
Cut a crisis cross pattern in the skin of the pork. Season the pork loin with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pat the pork dry with paper towels before applying the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire surface.
Roast the Pork
Place the seasoned pork loin on a baking sheet, fat side up. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue roasting for an additional 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Rest and Slice
Once the pork is cooked, please remove it from the oven and tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice the pork into 1-inch thick medallions.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the sliced pork with freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness. Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
How Long to Cook Pork Loin
For a 3-pound boneless pork loin, cook it at 400°F (200°C) for the first 15 minutes. After that, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue roasting for 45-60 minutes. The total cooking time will be around 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, but always check the internal temperature, which should reach 145°F (63°C) for optimal doneness.
Leftovers and Storage
Leftover pork loin can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Allow the pork to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. If you have more leftovers, you can freeze them for 2-3 months.
When ready to reheat, warm the pork in the oven or stove to retain its flavor and moisture.
