Pork Loin Roast With Gravy

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pork loin roast on a roasting pan. Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy exterior later.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated for maximum flavor.

3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step adds depth of flavor to the roast.

4. Transfer the seared pork loin back to the roasting pan, then place it in the oven. Roast for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) with a meat thermometer.

5. Once the pork loin is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender roast.

6. While the pork loin is resting, prepare the delicious gravy. In a saucepan, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

7. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and a splash of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

8. Cook the gravy until it thickens to your desired consistency, usually about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

9. Once the gravy is ready, slice the rested pork loin into thick slices and serve it drizzled with the flavorful gravy. Pair it with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
