Create a flavorful and juicy pork roast by roasting it straight from the fridge. An herb-garlic rub adds extra taste while the oven seals in moisture.
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture all over the pork and refrigerate while preheating the oven to 475°F (245°C).
Position a roasting rack in a large roasting pan and place the pork on it.
Roast in the hot oven for 30 minutes, then remove the pork.
Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the center; the temperature will range from 80 to 110°F (27 to 43°C).
Let the pork rest at room temperature, uncovered, until it reaches an internal temperature between 115 and 140°F (46 and 60°C), approximately 30 minutes.
Return the pork to the oven and keep cooking until its internal temperature hits 145°F (63°C), which will take 15 to 30 minutes more.
Allow the roast to stand uncovered at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
