Oven-Baked Bone-In Pork Loin

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you roast bone-in pork loin in the oven? Gather all your ingredients. A bone-in pork loin is perfect for roasting. For seasoning I use dried basil — I love its aroma and add it to almost all my meat dishes. Feel free to swap in marjoram, rosemary, or any herb you like.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the pork under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels to remove the excess moisture.

3. Step 3:

   

   For the marinade, combine the soy sauce and a little vegetable oil in a deep bowl. Add the dried basil and a little salt. Salt to your own taste, but keep in mind that soy sauce is already quite salty — you may not need any salt at all.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pierce each piece of meat 3–4 times with a knife and add it to the bowl of marinade. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and marinate for 3–4 hours at room temperature. If you plan to cook it 6–8 hours out, put the bowl in the fridge.

5. Step 5:

   

   Before roasting, take the meat out of the marinade and blot off the excess liquid. If it marinated in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for a bit to take the chill off.

6. Step 6:

   

   Set the prepared bone-in loin on an oven rack with a baking sheet underneath to catch the drippings and fat. Roast in an oven preheated to 410°F (210°C) for 40–45 minutes. Adjust to your own oven.

7. Step 7:

   

   The finished meat will have a fragrant golden crust and the bone will have darkened. Take it out of the oven and serve hot.

8. Step 8:

   

   Serve the roasted bone-in loin with fresh herbs and vegetables. Enjoy!
