Pork Sirloin Roast
This is one of the best pork roasts I have ever tasted and it turns out incredibly tender and juicy every single time. After cooking sirloin pork roast this way countless times now, there is nothing that I would change about this recipe.
It tastes impressive enough to serve to company and no one will guess just how easy it is to make. While it does require oven an hour of cooking time, most of that time is hands-off while it roasts in the oven. After mixing the spices together and rubbing them on the pork, you can go about your business while the roast cooks.
The kitchen smells so good whenever this roast is cooking. Every time we make this it takes all my self-control to wait 15 minutes after taking it out of the oven before tasting it.
Every member of my family loves this roast. The first time I made it, I wondered if the combination of spices in the rub might make it too spicy, but even my toddler ate a large portion.
I shared the last bit of it with him for lunch the following day and we were both very happy. This simple pork sirloin roast recipe was a favorite from the first time we tasted it.
Pork Sirloin Tip Roast
I’ve made this recipe for pork sirloin roast countless times now over the past 10-15 years. It is one of our favorite ways to roast pork.
Side note: if you aren’t buying the 4-pack of these 2lb Costco pork roasts, you’re missing out on a heck of a deal.
Wondering just how easy it really is to cook these roasts? Let me show you.
How long to cook a 2 lb pork roast?
Baking this roast in the oven for just about an hour at 350°F results in tender, juicy meat that slices easily. This is by far one of the best roast pork recipes I’ve ever made and we never seem to get tired of it.
If you cook your roast from room temperature, this should take just about an hour. When cooking these pork roasts cold, straight from the fridge, they often require about 90 minutes of cooking time. Allowing the meat to rest a while and come closer to room temperature before cooking will shorten the cooking time.
While resting on the counter, the temperature of the meat will typically increase by 8-10 degrees. So, be careful not to overcook and dry it out.
Pork Seasoning
Cooking a boneless pork sirloin roast couldn’t be any easier when you use the right herbs and spices. The crazy flavorful combination of herbs and spices in this pork rub has been a huge hit with everyone who tastes it.
This blend of cayenne pepper, paprika, onion, and garlic along with lots of dried herbs hits the perfect balance of spicy and fragrant.
You’ll stir the spices together with a bit of oil before rubbing the mixture generously all over the pork roast. Coating the pork with the herbs and spices this way before roasting helps get that delicious flavor into every bite.
The salt in this recipe is adjustable to taste. Personally, we like the saltiness of the full 2 teaspoons. However, many people have found that to be too salty. So, we’ve adjusted the recipe as shown above. I recommend starting with 1 teaspoon the first time you make this and adjusting from there.

I love a recipe that’s equally suited for an elegant affair and a casual weeknight. Herb crusted pork sirloin roast definitely fits the bill. It goes well with just about any side dish and is a hit with kids and adults alike.
Serve this pork with a side of Roasted Red Potatoes and Sauteed Broccoli and Asparagus with Parmesan. It would also be amazing with Garlic Smashed Potatoes and these copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls.
My family loves pork so I cook it fairly often. Pork Carnitas are bites of pork that are cooked until melt in your mouth tender; then the pork is roasted at a high temperature just until caramelized and crisp on the edges. Just try to resist eating this one right out of the pan.
Sweet and Tangy Pulled Pork is one of my go-to dinner recipes. We eat pulled pork on its own, in sandwiches, stuffed into tacos, piled on nachos, stacked with enchiladas, and last but most certainly not least, layered into BBQ Sundaes.
