Here’s a simple and flavorful Pork Roast Recipe—juicy, tender, and perfect for a family dinner. 🥩🍽️
Ingredients
- 3–4 lb (1.4–1.8 kg) pork loin or shoulder roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or fresh sprigs)
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 cup chicken broth or white wine
- 1 large onion, sliced
- Optional: carrots and potatoes for roasting
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Pork
- Pat the roast dry.
- Mix olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
- Rub the mixture all over the pork.
3. Roast
- Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Surround with onion slices and optional vegetables.
- Pour broth or wine into the pan.
- Roast 1 ½–2 hours (or about 20 minutes per pound), until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
4. Rest & Serve
- Let the roast rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with pan juices or make a quick gravy from the drippings.
Tips
- Flavor boost: Sear roast in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before roasting to lock in juices.
- Vegetables: Carrots, potatoes, and parsnips roast beautifully alongside the pork.
- Glaze option: Brush with honey, mustard, or apple cider glaze during the last 20 minutes for a sweet-savory finish.
I can also provide a slow-cooker pork roast recipe or an herb-crusted version that’s extra flavorful.
