Steps:
- In a large resealable bag, combine the first 9 ingredients to create the marinade.
- Add the pork loin and marinate for about 4 hours turning several times.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium high heat.
- Remove the loin from the marinade and pat it semi-dry. Reserve the marinade mixture.
- Sear the loin on all sides, including the ends, in the hot skillet. Set the skillet aside without cleaning it (leave all the juices and cooked bits in it) and keep it for later as well.
- Place the seared loin on a rack in a shallow pan. Add the 1 cup of chicken broth to the pan.
- Cook for 40-50 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees (about 20-25 minutes per pound). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- During the last 15 minutes of cooking time, transfer the reserved marinade to a small pan and bring it to a rolling boil. Lower the heat but keep the marinade at a slow boil for ten minutes.
- Put the skillet that you seared the loin in back over medium-high heat.
- Pass the boiled marinade through a strainer into the skillet. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Cook, stirring to loosen any cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a low boil.
- Add the butter and stir until melted.
- Slice the loin in about 1/2" thick slices. Drizzle with the pan sauce.

QUICK SAVORY CRANBERRY GLAZED PORK LOIN ROAST
This simple, 1-hour roast is our favorite Christmas dish and voted most likely to be served if the President were to drop in for dinner- LOL! I love serving this entree because it causes me NO stress and everyone raves over it. While the pork is roasting, make another batch of the cranberry glaze to serve in a gravy boat alongside the sliced pork roast. For food safety, the new batch should not be prepared in same pan as the first if you have been basting directly out of the saucepan. If you basted out of another dish, you can use the same pan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in the black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, dry mustard powder, and garlic. Cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- With a sharp knife, make several small slits in the pork roast. Place the roast into a roasting pan, and spread the spice mixture all over the roast and in the incisions. Surround the roast with celery, carrots, and onion, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven until the pork roast is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 2 hours. About 15 minutes before the end of cooking, turn the oven temperature up to 425 to help brown the roast.
- Remove pork roast from oven, and allow to stand for about 10 minutes before slicing. Check temperature again; roast temperature should be at least 160 degrees F (75 degrees C) before serving.
- While roast is resting, place the roasting pan containing vegetables and pan drippings over a stove burner set to medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and simmer the drippings and flour for about 3 minutes to remove raw taste from flour. Whisk in the pork stock, a little at a time, until the gravy is thickened. Strain the gravy, and serve with the roast.

SIMPLY SAVORY PORK LOIN
This is a simple roast, seasoned with savory. I brown and bake this in my cast iron dutch oven. It makes great gravy and very tasty sandwiches. I want to thank SnoopyCooks for her suggestion to thicken the gravy with cornstarch, as I forgot that step.

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.
