Perfect Pork Loin With Effortless Au Jus Recipes

CAJUN ROASTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cayenne, oregano, pepper, thyme, mustard, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Use a paring knife to make several small incisions in the fat side of the meat. Stuff the slits with the spice mix, and rub the remaining mix over the surface of the meat. Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a roasting pan over medium heat. Put the roast in the pan, and surround with the carrots, red pepper, celery, and onion. Lightly salt and pepper the vegetables. Place roasting pan in preheated oven, and cook for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F, and cook for an additional 15 minutes to brown the meat. Cook until meat is 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove roast from pan, and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
• Place the roasting pan, with the pan juices, over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the hot drippings, and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and cook, whisking occasionally, for 6 minutes. Strain sauce, and serve with the sliced pork roast.

PERFECT PORK LOIN / TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a large zip lock bag, mix together all ingredients and add the pork loin. Let it marinade for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator (I leave mine in over night).
• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Cook 35 minutes per pound (or until as done as you prefer), in an uncovered baking dish.
• Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve.
• For added flavor, you can reserve and boil the marinade until reduced by 25 percent, then use it to baste pork loin (every 20 minutes or so), or use it as a dipping sauce.
• Yum Yum Yum!

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLE CIDER AU JUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove silver skin and any surface fat from tenderloin; dry well with paper towels. Combine Cajun seasoning, celery salt, garlic granules, onion powder, and sugar in a small bowl; mix well. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over pork tenderloin.
• Heat oil into a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add pork tenderloin and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and place into the oven.
• Roast in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Check temperature of the pork tenderloin after 10 minutes as baking time depends on how long it has been seared.
• Meanwhile, pour apple cider and apple cider vinegar into the skillet and bring to a low boil. Scrape up any browned bits, lower heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add maple syrup and simmer for 5 more minutes.
• Move pork tenderloin to a clean cutting board, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice pork tenderloin into thin slices, place on a serving dish, and drizzle with apple cider au jus.

ROSEMARY ROAST PORK SANDWICHES AU JUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Rub evenly over pork. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 4 minutes, browning on all sides. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160 degrees(slightly pink). Remove pork from pan; cut diagonally across grain into 12 slices.
• Return pan to medium-high heat; add broth, scraping pan to loosen any browned bits. Add sherry and tomato paste, stir with a whisk. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes.
• Cut French rolls in half horizontally. Place 2 pork slices on bottom half of each roll; top with a lettuce leaf, if desired. Cover with roll tops. Serve with au jus.
