Instructions

It only takes a few simple steps to make this delicious pork roast. It's a simple recipe that even beginners can make.

Step 1: Season the Roast

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Rinse and dry pork roast with a paper towel. Then, sprinkle it with salt, pepper, and thyme. Rub the seasoning into the roast and place it into the roasting pan.

Step 2: Add the Broth and Vegetables

Pour the chicken broth and water into the pan, then add the bay leaves, onions, celery, carrots, and mushrooms.

Step 3: Bake

Cover the roast and bake for about 2 hours, then remove the cover. Allow the meat to continue cooking until it's well browned and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

Step 4: Make the Gravy

When the roast is done, transfer it to a cutting board and loosely cover it with foil, then remove the bay leaves from the pan.

Next, place the pan on the stovetop element on medium-high heat. Add flour and about 2 tablespoons of water, stirring to combine. When the juice in the pan begins to boil, add the flour slurry and mix until the gravy thickens.

Serve the pork and gray and enjoy.

Hint: Be sure to pat the roast down adequately so that your seasonings will stick to it.
