Roast Pork Loin

For my roasted pork loin, I began with two pretty big pork loins. I'm talking like, industry standard sheet pan length. Times two. I made a quick spice rub with garlic powder, cracked black pepper, paprika, ground oregano, summer savory, and fresh finely chopped rosemary and thyme. I rubbed this all over the meat side of the loin, then flipped it over so the fatty side was on top. I roasted this quickly at a high temperature. Although low and slow is typically better, the high heat here helps to melt and render down some of the fat, which then bastes the meat. At 450F, the roasts took less than two hours to reach 140F. I then let them rest for nearly an hour before slicing them. 
I served them with their own juices along with a sweet-sour brown sugar and apple cider vinegar gastrique sauce.
