Ingredients
- 2-pound pork arista roast
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Place the pork arista roast in a roasting pan and rub the garlic and herb mixture all over the roast. Make sure to coat it evenly on all sides.
4. Add the potato chunks to the roasting pan, arranging them around the pork. Drizzle them with a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
5. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
6. Roast the pork and potatoes for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.
7. Once cooked, remove the roasting pan from the oven and let the pork rest for about 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute and ensure a tender and juicy roast.
8. Serve the sliced pork arista alongside the roasted potatoes. You can also pair it with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
Tips and Variations
- For added flavor, marinate the pork arista roast in the garlic and herb mixture overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
- If you prefer crispier potatoes, remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- Feel free to customize the herb seasoning to your liking by adding other dried herbs such as oregano, sage, or basil.
