Pork Roast With Two Sides Recipes

PORK ROAST DINNER FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Have a roasting pan ready.
• Season the pork on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet. Once hot, add the pork fat side down. Cook until brown, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until brown, about 4 minutes.
• Turn the pork onto one side and sear for 1 minute or until brown then sear the remaining side for 1 minute or until brown. Transfer pork to a plate.
• Drain the excess oil from the skillet. Very carefully, add the broth to the skillet (it will sputter so add a little bit then once it settles down add the rest). Stir and scrape up any brown bits left behind from the pork.
• In a large bowl add the onion, potatoes, garlic, celery, carrot, and rosemary. Add broth mixture and salt to taste then stir until coated. If the vegetables don't seem fully coated, add a little bit of olive oil. Transfer to the bottom of the roasting pan.
• Add pork fat side up on top of vegetables. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork is between 145-165F. Transfer the pork to a plate and tent with some foil to keep it warm. Let it rest while you make the gravy. If the vegetables aren't soft enough, roast the vegetables another 5-10 minutes while the pork rests.
• For the gravy: Place a strainer on top of a large bowl. Strain the vegetables and keep warm for serving. Transfer the liquid back into the roasting pan. Alternatively, you can use a medium saucepan.
• Heat the pan on the stove until hot. Add butter and cook until melted, scraping up any bits stuck in the pan.
• Stir in the flour to form a roux (paste) and cook for 1 minute or until lightly brown.
• Slowly stir in the broth. Bring to a boil then cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the milk and any juices accumulated from the pork resting. Taste and add more salt if necessary (I added 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt). Serve with pork and vegetables.

FALL APART PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Put 1/3 can of pork (or chicken) base into the bottom of the pan.
• Add hard cider to the pan.
• Lightly Coat pork roast in dry rub, saving about 1 tbsp for later. Choose your favorite. I used a rub called "Butt Rub", made specifically for pork.
• Place roast in pan and drench with another 1/3 can of broth - discard the rest.
• Chop celery and carrots into 1" long chunks (carrots may need to be halved) and add around the sides of the roast.

• Reduce oven heat to 200 degrees.
• Cover roast with aluminum foil.
• Place roast in oven, and roast for 90 minutes.
• After 90 minutes, baste roast, and add minced garlic, onion powder and half of the remaining dry rub to the top of the roast.

• After the second 90 minutes, re-baste roast and remove foil.
• Sprinkle the remaining dry rub and paprika on top of the roast.
• Roast uncovered for another 30-45 minutes or until internal temperature is 170 degrees F.
• Remove roast from the oven, and slice thick. Serve veggies from the roast on the side.
