Oma's Oven Cooked Pork Roast
Ingredients:2 lb pork loin roast
salt, pepper, paprika
1 onion, coarsely diced
¼ lb bacon, diced, or oil to brown meat
½ cup meat broth
2 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sprinkle meat with salt, pepper, and paprika
Meanwhile, if using bacon, fry until fat is released. If using oil, add just enough to cover bottom of fry pan. Add roast and brown on all sides. (Add more oil if needed.) Add onion to brown slightly.
Put roast into roasting pan. Add onion, bacon, and meat broth. Roast, uncovered, until meat thermometer reads 165°F. Remove from oven. Cover and let rest for about 10 minutes. (Will continue to cook to 170°F as it is cooling.)
To make gravy, mix cornstarch with a bit of cold water. Pour liquid from roasting pan through sieve into frying pan and bring to simmer. Slowly add just enough cornstarch mixture to thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
Serves 4 - 6. Delicious served with Red Cabbage and mashed potatoes.
