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.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 boneless top loin pork roast , 3 pound

Combine oil, pepper, and salt in a bowl; rub oil mixture over pork and refrigerate while the oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

Place pork on a roasting rack set in a large roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Remove pork from the oven and reduce the heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the center. The temperature will range from 80 to 110 degrees F (27 to 43 degrees C).

Allow pork to rest uncovered at room temperature until the internal temperature reaches between 115 and 140 degrees F (46 and 60 degrees C), about 30 minutes.

Apple Chicken Brine
I originally made this apple juice brine recipe for chicken to pair with a gifted bottle of apple wine. It was quite possibly the best chicken I have ever roasted. I love cooking the chicken in a cast-iron roasting pan, sitting on a bed of chopped apple, onion, and garlic. Place thawed whole chicken in chilled brine and refrigerate for 18 to 24 hours — roast chicken as usual.
