Split it up, probably into 3 parts.
Fajitas
Reverse sear (140-145), and finish with a pepper jelly glaze.
Cut into chops and grill.

Dry brine and smoke it.

Smoking it is also a great idea.
I didn't want to say it, but dry brine then sous vide and sear makes an amazing pork loin.

That is literally one of the most versatile cuts of meat you can work with. Slice it into boneless chops, and either fry or saute. Dice to make stir fry. Cook down in a spicy sauce to make enchiladas or stew. So many uses that I can't even begin to intimate them all...

I mentioned this technique in a post about pork tenderloins yesterday.
I'm assuming it's about as round as a softball and about a foot long or so.
Take a sharp knife and as you roll the roast on a cutting board cut into it and start making a sheet of meat about 1/4 inch thick and continue rolling it out as you cut it. By the time you're done you should have a layer of meat about 1/4 inch thick by however long it was initially by about 24 inches wide.
You can then season the meat on what will be the inside of it and make a mix of vegetables, cheese, sausage, pretty much whatever you want to use and layer that on the meat about 1/2 inch thick and then roll up the meat and tie it up with butcher's twine. When done it will look like a stuffed jelly roll.
Then bake or grill it till done and enjoy. I would suggest if using any type sausage to stuff it, cook the sausage first so it will be thoroughly cooked by the time the roast is done.

I love to grill pork loin and make a glaze/bbq sauce, usually fruit based. Add wood chips or chunks to the grill for flavor. Slice it thin and pour the sauce over it. Plenty of glaze/sauce recipes you can find online.

This. Freeze some of it unless you’re feeding 10 people

Cure it and smoke it. Homemade Canadian bacon. We do a 40-50lbs like that every year. Always a big hit.

Filet it three times. Imade a strawberry pepper jelly sauce reduced with red wine and stuffed it with tasso. Roll it, capped it thick bacon, tie it and put it on the Treager for four hours at 185.

It’s great on the smoker as long as you don’t overlook it.

whatever you do......don't overdo it. it'll be dry as shite.

I would never use a pork loin for stew. I think loins are pretty much only good for chops or roasts. Of course, you can cook chops and roasts in many different ways.
For the fun of the discussion, I’d argue a Boston butt is way more versatile than a loin. You can use a butt for most of what you can do with a loin (pork steaks for chops, pork roast for loin roast), but since butts have fat, that opens up way more options (ground pork, pulled pork, sausage, boudin, stews, jambalayas, etc.).

Stuff it with sautéed onion, sage, apple, sausage, panko breadcrumbs, and seasonings. Roast it over a bed of onions and chicken stock. Pour the juice in the pan over the sliced loin when it is ready.

I injected one last Saturday and put it on the rotisserie over the fire pit. Came out perfect.

Butterfly season and grill. Simple.
