Ingredients
2-3 lb. boneless pork loin
2 tsp. Kosher salt (adjust up to 3 tsp. for 3lb pork loin)
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp salt-free poultry seasoning
1 tsp. cayenne
2 tbsp. canola oil
4 oz unsalted butter
1 large onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 celery stick, diced
1 cup chicken stock
Directions

1. Combine salt & spices. Rub the pork loin with oil, then season liberally with spice mix over all sides. Season to taste.

 

2. Arrange pork loin on a pan, loosely tent with plastic and refrigerate overnight.

 

3. Remove the pork loin from the fridge. Scatter the onion, bell pepper, and celery over the bottom of a large roasting pan. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover the bottom of the pan. Lay the pork over the vegetables or elevated on a cooking rack set in the pan.

 

4. Brush top and sides of pork loin with melted butter. Preheat oven to 450°F. Once the oven is ready, place the pan on the middle rack.

 

5. Cook for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Roast until the internal temperature of the pork loin reads 145°F.

 

6. Remove pork loin from the oven and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. Roasted drippings can be served alongside pork loin or strained and added to a gravy. Serve with mashed sweet potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce.
