- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp kosher salt or coarse salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter (for gravy)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 1 cup chicken broth (for gravy)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Trim fat cap to about 1/4 inch, leaving enough fat for juiciness.
- Combine paprika, dry rosemary, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to make the spice rub.
- Brush pork all over with Worcestershire sauce.
- Rub the spice mix evenly over the pork.
- Place pork on a sheet pan or baking sheet.
- Roast at 425°F (218°C) for 15 minutes to brown the outside.
- Lower oven to 375°F (190°C) and roast for 40–60 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) using an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove roast from oven and loosely tent with foil. Rest for 5–10 minutes.
- Slice roast into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
- Optional: To make pan gravy, melt butter in skillet, whisk in flour to form roux, gradually add chicken broth and pan drippings, simmer until smooth and thickened.
Notes
Use an instant-read meat thermometer for best results to ensure juicy pork., Keep a thin fat cap on the pork loin to maintain moisture., Allow the roasted pork to rest loosely covered with foil for 5–10 minutes before slicing to lock in juices., Use kosher or coarse salt for better flavor and texture control over fine table salt., Start roasting at a high temperature to form a flavorful crust on the pork.
