Best Pear Stuffed Pork Roast With Dark Beer Sauce Recipes

PORK ROAST WITH LADY APPLES AND SECKEL PEARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with rack in lower third of oven. Whisk together oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and sage in a small bowl. Season pork with salt and pepper; brush herb mixture evenly over pork.
• Place pork, bone facing upward, in a roasting pan. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Roast 30 minutes.
• Rotate pan, and add apples and pears, cut side down. Roast until pork is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees, about 30 minutes more. Transfer roast to a cutting board with a well; let rest 15 minutes before cutting. Transfer apples and pears to a serving bowl.
• To make the gravy: Drain fat from roasting pan. Place roasting pan over 2 burners. Add wine; bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen any brown bits on bottom of pan. Cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in stock and cider; season with salt and pepper. Whisk flour with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth; add to gravy. Cook, whisking occasionally, until completely combined and gravy has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter; stir until it has completely melted. Pour through a sieve into a serving bowl; discard any solids.

PEAR-STUFFED PORK ROAST WITH DARK-BEER SAUCE

Steps:

• Coarsely chop 9 of the pear halves, reserving the rest for later. Place them with the ginger in a small bowl, cover with 1/2 cup of boiling water and let stand 10 minutes. Drain the pears, reserving 1/4 cup of the soaking liquid, and return them to the bowl. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the thyme to the pears and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the pork on a work surface. Using a long, round metal or wooden skewer about -inch thick, pierce a channel through the loin's center. Stuff the pear mixture into the channel, using the skewer to pack it in. Season the loin with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan fitted with a rack.
• Roast the pork for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 and continue to roast until the meat is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. (When pierced with a knife tip, the juices at the center should still run slightly rosy.) Transfer the pork to a platter and let it rest, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove the rack from the pan and place the pan atop the stove over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the shallots and cook until they just begin to soften. Add the beer, stock and reserved pear liquid and simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan occasionally, till the liquid is reduced by about two-thirds and the sauce becomes somewhat thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining butter.
• When ready to serve, finely dice the remaining 3 pear halves. Remove and discard the string from the roast and slice the meat. Divide the pork among plates, surround with some of the sauce and garnish with thyme and the diced pears.
