Sirloin Pork Roast

Sirloin pork can be a lean cut of pork, and sometimes quite inexpensive.  It makes an excellent roast!   This was an incredibly easy weekday meal (for when you work at home and can start cooking at 2pm).  This was great with roasted potatoes and brown gravy (recipe for gravy below).

Sirloin Pork Roast

Ingredients

3 lb boneless pork sirloin tip roast, boneless pork loin roast or boneless center cut pork loin

Paprika

Garlic salt

Onion powder

Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 teaspoons minced garlic divided
2 teaspoons rosemary (fresh or dried), chopped finely
1 teaspoon thyme leaves (fresh or dried), chopped finely
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
2 medium carrots diced
1 stalk celery diced

4-5 cremini mushrooms, rough chopped
¾ cup beef broth

Directions

Wipe pork loin dry with paper towel.  Rub with a mixture of garlic salt, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper.  Let come to room temp.

Preheat oven to 225 F.

Rub pork with 1 teaspoon of the garlic. Combine the rosemary and thyme in a small bowl and crumble together with your fingers. Sprinkle herb mixture onto all sides of the pork. Pat meat to gently rub everything in.

Heat oil in a 9″-10″ cast iron (or oven-proof) skillet over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides then remove to a plate and set aside.

Add onions, carrot, celery, and mushrooms to skillet and saute, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to brown. 

Add remaining 2 teaspoons of garlic and cook a minute longer. Deglaze skillet with beef broth.

Place roast on top of vegetable/broth mixture and place skillet, uncovered, in center of oven. Cook until an instant read thermometer's internal temperature reaches 145 F (about 2 hours for 3 lbs roast).

Remove roast from oven and tent with foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with pan juices.

Note:  Use the pan juices to make a brown gravy!  

Separate the veggies from the liquids using a sieve.  (The veggies are also delicious and can be served with the meal).  Add enough beef broth to make 2 cups of liquids.

Heat 4 tbsp of butter in a pan until melted.  Add 1/4 cup of flour and cook until brown and bubbly.

Whisk in liquids until cook until fully combined.  Add seasonings as desired.
