Pork Loin Roast Recipe
- 1 3 lb. boneless pork roast
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 6 Tbsp. maple syrup
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Trim pork roast of all fat. Place in a shallow roasting pan. Whisk together remaining ingredients. Brush over the pork. Check for doneness using an instant read thermometer at 1 to 2 hours. The internal temperature should be around 145 to 150 degrees. (Remember to remove the thermometer before returning pork roast to the oven again.)
Important: Allow the pork roast to rest, uncarved, at least another 20 minutes. This allows the residual heat to bring the temperature of the pork up to 150 to 160 degrees, which according to my french cooking teacher, is the perfect temperature. This also retains the juiciness of the pork roast.
