How to cook pork roast in the oven?

Here’s the recipe for cooking pork roast in the oven.

1. The best way that works for me is to bake the pork roast on a rack that stands on a roasting pan. Pour a small amount of water into the pan. The melting fat will drip away from the roast into the pan where it will mix with water. You can use this mixture to braise the roast later during basting. Place the roast with the fat face up on the rack. It’s better so because when the fat melts, it braises the pork and this keeps from drying out.
2. A no-fail dry rub for pork roast includes salt, pepper, thyme, paprika and garlic powder. If you have a soft spot for an aromatic herb, don’t hesitate to add it to the mixture. Rub the mixture into the pork steak. Drizzle some olive oil on top of seasonings to help them stick to the meat better.
3. Bake at 375 degrees F for 40-60 minutes depending on the desired doneness. Baste halfway through the baking. After you remove the roast from the oven, allow it 10 minutes to rest so that the natural juices can redistribute throughout the meat.
