Every member of the family loved this meal. I thought it might be too spicy, but even my youngest ate a large portion. I shared the last bit of it with him for lunch the following day and we were both very happy. I found this combination of spices on allrecipes.com and I changed almost nothing from the original recipe. This is most definitely a new favorite!
Herb Rubbed Sirloin Tip Pork Roast
1.5 - 2 lb sirloin tip pork roast
1 1/4 tablespoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Add the olive oil and whisk or stir well to combine. Allow this mixture to rest for 15 minutes. It will become a bit thicker and turn into a paste-like consistency.
Line a small baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over it. Rinse the roast and pat dry. Rub the spice mixture all over the roast, completely covering all sides with spices.
Roast 1 - 1.5 hours in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven when the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Let sit 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Two side notes: I cooked the pork roast for 1.5 hours because I cooked it cold from the refrigerator. If I had thought of it earlier, I would have allowed the roast to rest at room temperature prior to prepping the meat. This would have shortened the cooking time. Also, I removed the roast when it was closer to 142 degrees. While resting on the counter, it increased almost ten degrees. So, be careful not to overcook and dry it out.
