📝 Preparation Steps

Let your meat sit out at room temperature for an hour prior to roasting. Preheat the oven to 275℉, then place the loin on a sheet pan.

Rub all over with olive oil, then rub generously on all sides with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Insert a probe thermometer into the center of the meat.

Olive oilKosher saltFreshly cracked black pepper

Roast on the center rack of the oven until your desired internal temperature is reached. Rare: 115-120℉. Medium-Rare: 125-130℉ (this is what I recommend). Medium: 135-140℉.

Take out the probe, then move the pan up to the top rack of the oven and turn on the broiler. Keep a close watch until it's nicely browned on top, about ⏱️ 30 seconds to a minute, then use a pair of tongs to turn it ¼ of the way. Repeat until browned on all 4 sides.

Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest for at least ⏱️ 15-20 minutes or longer.

Slice and serve as desired.
