Pork Loin Roast | How to Cook Pork Loin

Pork loin

tsp Garlic Powder

tsp Onion Powder

½ tsp Black Pepper

Tbsp Montreal Seasoning

Paprika

Salt

Tbsp Butter

Olive Oil

Tbsp

Take the meat out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before hand to let it warm up a bit. That will ensure a more even temperature for cooking it.

Put those spices on your pork loin roast. I like to use a baking tray or a large cutting board to place the meat on while we season it. We use Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Paprika, and Montreal Seasoning.

Cover the meat with the seasonings, especially on the top but also on the sides and bottom if you can. You can even press them on better with your hands so that they will adhere better.

Transfer the pork loin roast into the baking pan that you will be using to bake it in.

The last preparation step is to make the sauce and pour it over the top of the pork loin.

In a saucepan melt the butter and add the olive oil. Blend them together well.

Add dried parsley and stir until blended.

Pour it over the pork loin, while attempting to cover as much of the meat as possible.

Place your pork loin in the oven and set the timer for the amount of necessary time. If you make a 3 pound roast, at 20 minutes per pound, would be 1 hour.

When the pork loin reaches 145 degrees it is time to take out the roast.

Let it rest on the counter for 5-10 minutes.

I have used this recipe for pork loin several times.  It’s my all time favorite recipe!
Perfect as is! My family LOVES IT!

Introducing stuffed pork loin - the perfect roast to tantalize your taste buds! Whether you&#039;re hosting a dinner party or simply looking for something delicious to make on a weeknight, pork roast is sure to be an absolute hit.

Stuffed Pork Loin

olive oil ((extra virgin))

small onion ((or half of a large onion

sea salt

garlic

black pepper

mushrooms ((baby portobello - chopped small))

baby spinach ((chopped medium/small))

pork loin ((blot dry with paper towels))

salt

garlic powder

dijon mustard

walnuts ((chopped))

Mexican cheese

thyme ((ground))

apple ((chopped small))

As you cook the onion, use that time to chop the other vegetables to save time.

Heat a large sauté pan on medium heat. Once that heats up, add olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped onion and sauté for 7 minutes or until translucent. Stirring occasionally.

Add salt, pepper, crushed garlic and stir and cook for 1 minute.

Add mushrooms, stir and cook for 2 minutes.

Add chopped spinach, thyme, and stir and cook for 1 minute or until the spinach wilts. Set aside to deal with the pork.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Unwrap the pork and place it on its side on a cutting board. Take a sharp knife and butterfly the meat - cut it on the equator but not all the way through. Leave an inch between the edge and where you stop cutting. Open it like a book and place it back on the cutting board.

Most likely the pork won&#39;t be equal thickness so place a few pieces of plastic wrap on the pork, take a meat tenderizer and pound it with the side of the meat mallet until the thickness looks more uniform.

Sprinkle on kosher salt, garlic powder and spread the mustard evenly on the pork.

Sprinkle on the shredded cheese, walnuts, and apple chunks.

Lastly, spread on the vegetable mixture. Fold the pork back on itself like a book and secure it with either some metal skewers like I did, or use kitchen twine.

Place the pork on the rack of the roasting pan with the fat cap facing up. Add the meat thermometer, and bake for 70 - 80 minutes. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

When it&#39;s done, tent a few pieces of aluminum foil over the pork and let it rest at least 10 minutes before cutting the meat.

Slice

Serve

Enjoy

I made this tonight for our New Year’s Eve dinner and it was delicious. I used goat cheese instead of listed cheeses and it was delightful.

Wow! I wasn't sure about the addition of walnuts, but it came out amazing. I made it for company and they all asked for the recipe! Thanks a ton.

This is really a "wow factor" main course! The mushrooms and spinach are a nice complement to the flavor of the pork.

This pork loin is so flavorful and the stuffing is my favorite part! Thanks for the tip on the wireless thermometer! It was so helpful and I'll be making this again next week for dinner :)
