Make tender pork roast in the oven. This is the best recipe and most basic method to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan — Dad's recipe works best that way.
