Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 lb pork loin ((boneless))
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary ((crushed))
2 Tbsp fresh sage ((crushed; or 1 1/2 tsp dried sage leaves))
1 tsp fresh thyme ((crushed; or 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves))
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp coriander seeds ((crushed))
2 cloves garlic ((pressed))
1 lb cremini mushrooms ((or button mushrooms, sliced about 1/4" - 3/8" thick))
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 shallot ((thinly sliced))
1 cup dry sherry ((or Madeira, or dry vermouth))
1 cup chicken stock
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch ((dissolved in 1 Tbsp of water))
Salt ((to taste))
Black pepper ((to taste))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Crush coriander seeds in a mortar. Add the fresh herbs and crush together with the coriander seeds.
  • Mix the crushed herbs and coriander seeds with salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Rub the pork loin with the seasoning, patting it to make sure the seasonings stick well. Position the pork loin on a rack fitted over a baking pan lined with foil. Make sure that the fat cap is on top of the loin.
  • Insert a BBQ or meat thermometer, put the loin in the oven and roast at 425F for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325F and continue to roast until the temperature in the center of the thickest part of the loin reaches 140F, about 50 - 70 minutes.
  • Remove the meat from the oven, tent with a piece of foil and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the garlic and the shallot for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and continue sauteing for another 5 minutes or so, until the mushrooms begin to brown.
  • Add the sherry wine and continue cooking until most of the liquid evaporates.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and the soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch mixture and simmer for about 2 minutes, until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the pork loin with your favorite side dish (these garlic mashed potatoes are the best match for this dish) with mushroom sauce spooned over it.

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH APPLESAUCE



Roast Pork Loin with Applesauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as soy, corn, or peanut
One 3-pound boneless center cut pork loin, trimmed and tied
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
3 sprigs fresh sage
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 to 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced and chilled
About 4 cups applesauce, recipe follows
2 1/2 pounds tart red skinned apples, such as McIntosh
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Lay the loin, fat side down in the skillet, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Use tongs to turn the meat, and continue to brown it on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
  • Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and herb sprigs to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the wine. Return the skillet to a high heat and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Boil the wine until it is reduced by about half. Add the broth and bring to a boil.
  • Return the loin and any collected juices to the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers between 145 to 150 degrees F., about 40 minutes. (See Cooks Note.)
  • Transfer the pork to a plate, and cover it loosely with foil. Set it aside in a warm spot while you make a sauce.
  • Strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan; press down on the vegetables with a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Boil the liquid over high heat until reduced by about a third. Reduce the heat to medium-low, whisk in the mustard, and then the bits of butter to enrich the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm but do not boil.
  • Remove the strings from the roast and then slice the loin. Add any collected juices to the sauce. Arrange the meat on a warm platter and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the meat. Serve with the applesauce on the side.
  • Remove the apple's stems. Coarsely chop the apples with their skin and seeds. Combine the apples, sugar, and lemon juice with 3 tablespoons of water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Cover, and lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the apples are completely soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and continue to cook (stir frequently to prevent scorching) until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Pass the apple mixture through a food mill; discard the peels and seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate if not using immediately.

SEASONED PORK ROAST WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE



Seasoned Pork Roast With Mushroom Sauce image

Recently, my area experienced a blizzard that knocked out power for almost a full day. While I had my gas stove for cooking, I didn't have access to the internet to search for recipes. I had to resort to sifting through my cookbooks. I found this gem in a Junior League cookbook, and after modifying it slightly to suit ingredients I had on hand, Hubby proclaimed it worthy of repeating.

Provided by DaleB

Categories     Pork

Time 3h

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 -3 lbs pork tenderloin
6 tablespoons colivita olive oil
2 tablespoons golden boy mushroom soy sauce
1 tablespoon Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 medium onion (diced)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon non-iodized kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon rolled sage
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 pinch celery seed
12 ounces 100% apple juice
12 ounces whole milk
1 (4 ounce) can mushroom pieces

Steps:

  • For the Tenderloin: Set out Tenderloin in a zip-lock bag so to be at room temperature when marinade is ready.
  • Marinade: In a small sauté pan add 2 Tbsp olive oil. Sauté garlic till golden, add 1/2 of the diced onion; sauté till clear.
  • Turn the heat up a bit and add the sage, marjoram, thyme, ginger and celery seed; sauté till you just smell the spices coming out (about a minute).
  • Remove from heat. Mix in woy and Worcestershire wauce.
  • Take tenderloin and add marinade to bag. Force out air and seal.
  • After about an hour massage the marinade into the meat. Have fun; pound on it with your fist, squeeze it as you wish for about 5 minutes. At 2 hours do it again. It will feel tenderized and will have taken on the color of the spices by now. Don't beat it up so much that it starts to come apart (just close)! While the meat is getting tasty in the bag make the sauce.
  • For the Sauce: In a sauté pan add 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add the rest of the onion, the mushroom pieces and the salt and pepper. Sauté till onions clear (about 10 minutes).

  • Roasting the Tenderloin: Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • On Med-High add 2 Tbsp olive oil to a sauté pan. Just when the oil smokes take the tenderloin and sear all sides as quickly as possible till just golden brown.

  • Pour heated sauce over Tenderloin. Slice and serve.

1 (5 to 7 pound) pork loin or butt
1 pound button or cremini mushrooms
1 whole head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
Emeril's Red Hot Sauce or other hot sauce
Salt
1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
6 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 bunch green onions, green and white parts chopped separately
2 cups rich beef stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pierce the roast all over with the tip of a paring knife and stuff one clove of garlic into each hole, followed by a few drops of hot sauce. Sprinkle on all sides with Essence and garlic powder and rub into the meat. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the roast evenly on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, and enough water to come 1-inch up the sides of the pan. Add the teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and stir to combine and loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and add a more water as necessary to come 1-inch up the sides of the pan. Continue to cook until very tender, about 3 1/2 hours total cooking time.
  • Meanwhile, to make the gravy, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat, until milk chocolate-colored roux is formed, about 15 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, and the white part of the green onions, and cook until the vegetables are soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the beef stock and heavy cream and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until tender and golden brown around the edges, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and teriyaki sauce to the gravy and simmer until flavors come together, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Remove the roast from the oven and transfer to a platter. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Strain the pan juices through a fine mesh strainer into the gravy and simmer until heated through and thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve over the carved roast.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Morel Mushroom Pan Sauce

Steps:

  • Chop garlic and quartered shallots in mini processor. Scrape down bowl. Add next 5 ingredients; blend until paste forms.
  • Arrange roasts, bone side down, on work surface. Make 6 to 8 shallow slits in fat on each. Rub some of herb paste into slits. Rub remaining herb paste all over roasts.

  • Transfer roasts, still interlocked, to platter; reserve roasting pan with juices for sauce. Cut between ribs into chops. Serve with mushroom pan sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a Dutch oven or a large pot with a lid. This will help to keep the pork roast moist and flavorful.
  • Sear the pork roast before braising it. This will help to develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid. The braising liquid will add flavor to the pork roast, so choose one that you enjoy. Some good options include apple cider, chicken broth, or red wine.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to the braising liquid. This will help to add even more flavor to the pork roast and the sauce.
  • Cook the pork roast on low heat. This will help to keep it moist and tender.
  • Let the pork roast rest before serving. This will help to ensure that it is cooked evenly and that the juices can redistribute throughout the meat.
