Ingredients

  • 3 lb boneless pork loin roast, fat cap trimmed to 1/4 inch
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp brown sugar

Cook to 145°F inside (check with a thermometer).

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F with a rack in the middle.
  2. Pat the pork dry and season it all over with the salt and pepper.
  3. Stir the mustard, oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme and brown sugar into a paste.
  4. Set the pork fat side up on the rack in a roasting pan and spread the paste over the top and sides.
  5. Roast until the center reads 145°F (63°C). Start checking at 50 minutes.
  6. Move the pork to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil and rest it.
  7. Slice the roast about 1/2 inch thick and spoon any pan juices over the slices.

Tip: The USDA safe temperature for whole cuts of pork is 145°F (63°C) followed by a 3-minute rest. A little blush of pink inside is fine.

Tip: Pork loin and pork tenderloin are different cuts; a tenderloin is much smaller and cooks in about 20 minutes.

Tip: Use a separate cutting board for raw meat, and wash hands, boards and knives in hot soapy water after handling it.

Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container within 2 hours, up to 4 days. Slice cold for sandwiches, or warm slices gently in a covered pan with a splash of broth.

Make ahead: Rub the paste on, cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Let the roast sit out 30 minutes before roasting.
