Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Mix together the herbs, salt, and pepper. Rub it all over pork.

Step 3

Put the pork on a rack in a roasting pan fat side up. If you don’t have a rack use about 5 stalks of celery arranged in the pan.

Step 4

Roast until the internal temperature is 145-160°F, 20 to 25 minutes per pound. 145°F is considered safe for pork according to the USDA. It will be moist and slightly pink in the center. If you prefer your pork fully white and well done, then go with the 160°F temperature.

Step 5

Cover the roasting pan with foil and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, increase the oven to 475°F.

Step 7

Roast uncovered for another 10 minutes, until the meat is nicely browned.

Step 8

Carve the roast between the rib bones and serve immediately.
