Pork Roast
Ingredients
- Olive oil spray
- 3 lb. boneless pork shoulder roast
Procedure
- Tie the roast to create a firm roast
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and fit it with a wire rack.
- Spray the wire rack with olive oil.
- Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Place it on the wire rack.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the roast.
- Spray the top liberally with olive oil.
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Allow the roast to sit at room temperature while the oven is warming, about 30 minutes.
- Insert a meat thermometer probe into the middle of the roast and place the pork in the hot oven.
- Roast it for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 375 degrees F and continue roasting until the meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F.
- About 25 minutes per pound.
- Remove the roast from the oven. Loosely tent it with foil, and allow it to rest for 20 minutes.
- Carefully remove the butcher twine from the roast, slice and serve.
Notes
- If your roast is bigger than 3 lb., you will need to cook it for longer.
- If the top seems to be browning too much after 75 minutes, loosely cover it with foil.
- Slightly pink is OK, says the USDA (but feel free to cook it for longer if you prefer)
- It's very important to allow the fully cooked roast to rest for at least 20 minutes prior to slicing it. This allows the juices to redistribute and settle.
