Description

This comforting roast pork loin is slow-cooked to tender perfection, infused with aromatic ginger and savory onions. The meat develops a beautiful golden crust before simmering gently, resulting in juicy, flavorful slices that melt in your mouth. Finished with a thick, homemade pan gravy made from the roasted drippings, this dish offers a hearty and satisfying meal. It is ideal for family Sunday dinners or holiday gatherings where a classic, home-style main course is desired. Simple ingredients come together to create a sophisticated flavor profile that pairs well with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  2. Pat the pork loin dry with a clean cloth. Season generously with salt, pepper, and ginger.
  3. Dredge the seasoned pork loin in flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Place the pork in a roasting pan and roast in the hot oven for about 20-30 minutes, or until the exterior is browned.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350ðF (175ðC). Continue roasting for another hour.
  6. Add 1 cup of hot water and the thinly sliced onions to the roasting pan.
  7. Baste the pork with the pan juices every 15 minutes. Continue roasting for approximately 2 more hours, or until the pork is tender and cooked through.
  8. Remove the roast to a hot serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
  9. Pour the liquid from the roasting pan into a saucepan. Reserve any large solid bits if desired, or discard.
  10. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour into the hot pan juices, stirring constantly to blend smoothly and avoid lumps.
  11. Gradually pour in the remaining 1.5 cups of hot water while stirring vigorously.
  12. Simmer the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a gravy consistency.
  13. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the gravy alongside the sliced pork.
