2 teaspoons smokey barbecue rub spice mix
2 teaspoons thyme
2 tablespoons butter
fresh rosemary to add to the roasting tray

Steps:

  • Take the roast out of the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving it.

DAD'S BASIC MOIST PORK ROAST

This is the best and most basic way to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. This recipe really requires a good thermometer -- either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, the type that pierces the meat and stays in place while connected to an outside-the-oven monitor. If you can swing that, then try your favorite marinade or rub on this recipe. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan -- Dad's recipe works best that way.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (2 1/2 lb) pork loin roast
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
1 lb fresh baby carrots
8 small red potatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon water
4 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Make 6 horizontal cuts down center of roast 3x3". Stuff each cut with a slice of onion, reserving remaining onion.
  • Place roast in ovenproof dutch oven. Sprinkle with seasonings. Pour broth around roast.
  • Place remaining onion slices, pepper, bay leaf, carrots, and potatoes around roast.
  • Cover bake at 325°F for 2 1/2 hours.
  • If desired, bring pan juices to boil; boil 10-12 minutes or till reduced to half. Discard bay leaf. In a small bowl combine water and cornstarch. Blend till smooth. Add pan juices. Cook, stirring till mix is bubbly and thick.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Cut of Meat: Selecting a good quality pork roast is crucial. Look for roasts with even fat distribution and a good amount of marbling. This will ensure a tender and juicy roast.
  • Preparing the Roast: Before cooking, trim excess fat from the roast, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat to help keep the meat moist. Season the roast generously with salt and pepper, and any other desired herbs and spices.
  • Sear the Roast: Searing the roast before roasting helps develop a flavorful crust and locks in the juices. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the roast on all sides until browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Roasting the Pork: After searing, transfer the roast to a roasting pan and add a cup of broth or water to the bottom of the pan. Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast the pork in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (65°C) for medium-rare, or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Resting the Roast: Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest, covered with foil, for about 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Conclusion:

Cooking a juicy and flavorful pork roast is a culinary skill that can impress your family and friends. By following these recipes and tips, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. Remember to choose a good quality pork roast, season it well, sear it before roasting, and cook it to the desired internal temperature. With a little practice, you'll be able to create a perfect pork roast that everyone will love.
