Vini, I don't know how you came up with this recipe... but we think it is most definitly 5 star. I had a 3.25 # roast and checked at 90 minutes, and it was to right temperature. We are cutting carbs so I left out the cornstarch and went for some more flavoring for a "gravy". I added some broth and some red wine vinegar and boiled it a few minutes with the left over juices and added water. I served by slicing (very important to let it "rest" for about 10 minutes before slicing) into 1/2 thick slices and pouring the thin sauce over and letting it set in the juices covered in a warm oven while I made side dishes. Wow! moist and great flavor. Thank you, for probably the best recipe I have tried(And I have tried QUITE a few) on this website.
Read Morei bought a pork shoulder butt roast (yeah i know that sounds like an oxymoron or whatever) at the grocery store and was just looking for some simple seasoning recipe that i could do quickly with stuff i had. i looked at this and 'herb roasted pork loin and potatoes'. i put the sage in a bowl and smelled it and it just smelled like thanksgiving stuffing, so i added onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt and fresh ground black pepper until the seasonings smelled good, then i rubbed it all over the meat and cooked it at 350 for 30 mins per pound. when it was done i immediatly wrapped it tightly in foil and placed it on a dish in the microwave while i finished everything else. *****the tip i have for the gravy is to mix the water and cornstarch in a salad dressing shaker then add to the drippings, that way your gravy has no lumps!!!***** i served this with homemade mashed potatoes and sliced up apples into a frying pan with some butter, brown sugar and lemon juice (i read that on the other recipes suggestions) oh with some dinner rolls and a salad this was one of the best meals ever! i will use a pork tenderloin next time but oh my god! this is now a family favorite!!!

We thought this was excellent. I was running late and didn't make the gravy, but it was delicious without. I will definitely make this again (next time with the gravy). I also added some potatoes to the pan to roast along with the pork.
I found this recipe a while back and have made it like this many times. My family loves it, and so have my guests. It always receives rave reviews and requests for the recipe.
Extremely,extermely salty.Besides that very good.Will try again with less salt.
One of the best pork loins I've made. Save yourself an "outside" piece. The spices form a delicious crust which counterpoints the meat and is just fabulous. I followed the roasting instructions to the "T." My four pound roast finished in almost exactly two hours and the inside meat temperature was 160. The meat was a little pink on the inside, which I fixed with a brief stop in the micro. The gravy was simply tremendous--like I knew exactly what I was doing (I didn't have a clue). I served this with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, available on this website, Bavarian sauerkraut, garlic bread sticks, and tossed salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. You bet I deserve a medal!
Too salty. Next time I will cut back on the salt and the cornstarch. The gravy needed something....maybe some garlic powder? Good recipe with some minor adjustments.

I loved this! I rated a 4 due to the salt. Next time, I will cut amount in half. But that just affected the trim of the roast. I almost skipped the gravy because I was so hungry & in a hurry but glad I didn't. (I don't know what browning sauce is so that didn't make it in.) Even though the pork was tender, it added just the right amount of flavorful juiciness to boost the meat. Easy & my fiancee was "wowed!" Paired with easy mashed pots & buttery spinach with mushrooms/tomatoes made a Sunday-best meal. Thanks Vini!
I've used this recipe over and over again. It is a bit too salty for our taste so I cut that back a little. Otherwise, I'd give it five stars. I don't make the gravy.
This was really succulent. I did make the gravy but because there were so little pan drippings, the gravy was kind of lame. The pork truly did not need the gravy, and even obscured the wonderful flavor of the rub. I did cut the salt back to a tsp - it was still a touch salty.
Tasty pork roast. Served the gravy on top of mashed potatoes with some sour cream & garlic. Yum. The only change I'll make next time is to use less caraway seed. My husband doesn't like them so much.
This roast was fabulous. The best pork loin I ever made. I had a 2.88 pounder that I tied. I baked it for 1 1/2 hours and let it rest while I made the gravy. It was cooked to perfection. I didn't have browning sauce but I used the drippings and 1/2 and 1/2 apple cider and vegetable broth and thickened it with the cornstarch. I added a few more seasonings to it but it was good. The real star was the pork. I did use fresh sage instead of dry and I drizzled a little EVOO over the top so it wouldn't dry out. What great flavors together. Thank's for this great recipe!
I loved this simple and delicious rub! The caraway was a welcome departure from the spices I typically use and was a beautiful compliment to the pork. The cooking directions were spot on and it was so nice to have gravy and potatoes. So often I cook meat and potatoes but don't have the drippings for gravy.
This was one of the best pork meals I've made. It was different than the Rosemary I usually use. I served it with German Cabbage. I would submit that recipe if I knew how. It was the perfect side dish to serve with it. I will makethis meal over and over agian. We are looking forward to the leftovers.
This was an excellent reipe for pork loin. I took the recommendations of the other reviews and cut the salt to 1/2 tsp. It was just right. I roasted it on a rack for the recommended time, but at 350F. We loved it. The slight crust that formed was very tasty and the meat was moist and tender.
I thought I had lost this recipe. It was passed to me by a friend. Every time I made a pork roast, l looked for it to no avail. Today, I saved and printed it. I reduce the salt to 1/2 tsp and follow the rest of the recipe exactly. I love carrots and a green vegetable with it.
Good flavor, although I had to sub rosemary for the caraway seed so will try again with caraway. I followed reviewers' suggestions and cut the salt to 1/2 tsp. Used beef broth instead of water in the gravy for more flavor since I didn't have browning sauce. Would definitely make this again!
Nice tasting roast. Delicious gravy -- I didn't have the browning sauce, so I added a tiny amount of beef-flavored Better Than Bouillon for color and more flavor.
Excellent !!! I didn't have carraway seeds handy so i used Emeril's Original seasoning instead .Everyone loved it...Will make again on a regular basis ... Thanks !!!
This was tasty and easily converted to a crock pot recipe. The meat fell apart and I liked the flavors. Lovely!
I was very disappointed with this recipe. It was bland, and didn't brown at ALL in the oven - so it looked undercooked, even though the internal temp registered oterhwise. I don't think I'll make it again, but in retrospect, I wish I would have browned the meat before tossing it in the oven. Tender, but low on taste and even lower on visual appeal.
Good pork roast, but wish I had read the suggestions before preparing. One and one-half teaspoons for a 3-lb roast is too much salt. Ended up cutting away the crust. This, of course, affected the overall taste.
I made this tonight. Pork roast was on sale at the grocery store, so I bought it without even knowing how to cook it. I followed this recipe, and added a little rosemary as well. The family ate the whole 3-lb roast in one meal!
Very good and tasty. Did any leftovers. Made it for a group of friends and they loved it.
I have made this several times and it is delicious. Moist and tender and really easy and quick to prepare.
We do love this unique flavor! Something different but tasty is always welcome at the table. I gave this 5 stars all the way accross the board! My kids eat just about anything, no picky eaters allowed! So, my kids are rare but if it was really bad they would have said so. We give this thumbs up!!
I've been meaning rate this recipe for over a year, it is absolutely EXCELLENT! No need to change anything and all my picky eaters love this! This is on my menu every other week, thank you so much!
Very happy that I tried this! I doubled the spice rub ingredients, except for the salt-I used 2tsp salt. I also used beef stock instead of water for the sauce. Paired with mashed potatoes and steamed baby carrots. Was fantastic and super MOIST! I normally stay away from cooking pork, but this will be on my dinner table monthly now! MMMM!
This recipe was wonderful! Make sure you cut salt by half at least, but we just love this.
This is probably the best tasting pork roast I have ever eaten. I almost added some garlic because that is the norm for pork but I followed the recipe and I am glad I did.
I never cooked a pork loin before and my husband absolutely LOVED this! So simple!
