Pork Loin With Herb Crust image

From the Penzey's catalogue. I used a boneless pork loin roast and it worked fine. I also had to cook a little longer. I did make this GF/CF and it turned out great.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 -5 lbs loin pork rib racks, bone-in
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, minced or 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons basil
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary
1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
3/4 cup butter, cut up (or margarine)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the olive oil with the garlic, salt, basil, thyme, parsley, rosemary and black pepper.
  • Rub the pork all over with olive oil and herb mixture.
  • Place the pork on a rack and roast at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 150 degrees. The temperature will rise about 10 degrees while resting. If you prefer a higher than 160 degree final temp., cook longer as desired.
  • Transfer to a serving tray, cover and let rest while making the sauce.
  • For the sauce, pour the pan drippings into a skillet. Add the butter; cook over medium heat until melted. Whisk in the flour until smooth and bubbly.
  • Gradually whisk in the stock, tomato paste, sage and pepper; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture is thickened.
  • Slice the roast between the bones and serve the sauce over the pork, under the pork or on the side.
