Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, ensuring it doesn't touch bone. The internal temperature will range from 80 to 110 degrees F (27 to 43 degrees C).
09 Step
Recipe View
Allow the pork roast to rest uncovered at room temperature until the internal temperature reaches between 115 and 140 degrees F (46 and 60 degrees C), approximately 30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender roast.

Return the roast to the oven and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), approximately 15 to 30 minutes more.
11 Step

Let the roast stand uncovered at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving. This final rest is crucial for maximum tenderness and flavor.
For an even more flavorful roast, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the oil mixture.
Don't skip the resting periods! They are essential for a juicy and tender roast.
Serve with your favorite roasted vegetables or a creamy mashed potato for a complete and satisfying meal.
