    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.
