Then, season the pork loin with salt and pepper or your favorite herbs and spices. Finally, rub some oil or butter over the entire surface of the meat to help keep it moist during cooking.

Roast for 25 minutes per pound or until an internal thermometer reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit when inserted into the thickest part of the meat. Once cooked, let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
With these simple steps, you’ll be able to cook a perfect pork loin every time. Whether you’re serving it as part of a special occasion meal or just as an easy weeknight dinner, this delicious dish will be sure to please everyone at your table.
