Ingredients
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried sage
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pork roast (size based on preference, but typically around 3-4 pounds)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried sage, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed. This herb blend will infuse the roast with a delicious flavor.
-
-
Season the Roast: Rub the herb mixture generously over the entire surface of the pork roast. Make sure to coat all sides to ensure even flavor throughout the meat.
-
Roast the Pork: Place the seasoned pork roast in a shallow roasting pan. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Once the oven has reached temperature, put the roast inside. After 10 minutes, reduce the heat immediately to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking uncovered.
-
Check for Doneness: Bake the roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 160°F (71°C). This should take about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on the size of the roast.
-
Rest the Meat: Once done, remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a warm serving platter. Cover it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful roast.
-
Make the Gravy: While the roast is resting, use the pan drippings to make a delicious gravy. Simply skim off any excess fat, then pour the drippings into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and you can thicken the gravy with a bit of flour or cornstarch if desired. Serve alongside the roast.
Serving Suggestions
This Herbed Pork Roast pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad. It’s versatile enough to complement various side dishes, making it a great choice for any meal.
