Cuban Style Pork Loin

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 oranges, juiced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (2- to 3-pound) pork loin, boneless, center cut

Directions:

  1. If your pork loin isn’t wrapped in string you can choose to do so. It also works without the string.
  2. Whisk together the olive oil, oregano, cumin, paprika, garlic, orange juice, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the pork loin to the marinade. You can do this in a large plastic bag or in a large bowl, covered with plastic wrap. Place the pork in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, but ideally overnight. Turn the pork once if you can if it is in a bowl.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Add the pork loin to your roasting pan fat side up. Place the pan in the oven and bake for about an hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the roast.
  4. Allow the roast to rest for about 10 minutes. Remove the strings if they were in place. Cut the roast into rounds.
  5. Serve the roast pork with your favorite Cuban sides like rice and beans or plantains, or use slices in a Cubano sandwich.
