Pork Loin Roast Recipe for the Oven
My pork loin roast recipe is one of the many ways to cook this thick lean cut of pork. When looking for an alternative to pork chops, or a meal the whole family will enjoy, this is a great way to make your dinner a success.
Creating a great pork loin requires a savory base and mouth watering rub. Using a little oil on the pork helps it retain moisture so the meat is juicy and cooked to perfection.
When I make my pork rub, it's pretty much different every time I do it. I have a variety of herbs and spices in the cupboard that I glance over and make my decision on which ones to use on the fly.
Please try this recipe and let me know how it goes. If you are a pork lover, know you will love it.
