Ingredients

  • 3 pound boneless pork loin (not a tenderloin)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt (if using table salt, use 3/4 teaspoon)
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a rack in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan, set aside.
  • Mix the paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, kosher salt, onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, and cayenne in a small bowl.
    1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground mustard, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Spread the rub all over the pork loin. Then place the pork loin on the prepared rack.
  • Roast for 15 minutes. Then turn down the heat to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and continue roasting until the pork loin reaches 140 degrees, about one hour for a 3 inch thick, 3 pound roast. Remove from the oven and allow it to rest, tented for 5 to 10 minutes. In that time, the roast will come to 145 degrees.
  • Slice and serve.
