Center Cut Pork Roast

Store raw pork roast tightly wrapped in its original packaging or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze it.

For a juicy roast, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, followed by a 3-minute rest.

Marinating or brining the roast beforehand can add extra flavor and moisture.

Roasted root vegetables (carrots, potatoes, parsnips)

Apple sauce or cranberry sauce

Garlic mashed potatoes

Green beans or asparagus

Overcooking the roast, which can lead to dry and tough meat.

Not letting the roast rest after cooking, causing juices to run out when sliced.
