Ingredients
- 2 lb pork roast (e.g. pork loin)
- german mustard
- oil for frying
- 1 large yellow onion , chopped
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 carrots , cut in half
- For the flour slurry:
- 3 tablespoons flour whisked into additional 1/2 cup cool beef broth
Instructions
- Rub the roast down with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Generously rub it down with German mustard.Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Once hot, add the roast and generously brown on all sides. Add the onions and the butter and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the white wine and boil for 3 minutes until mostly evaporated.Add the bay leaf, thyme, beef broth and carrots (they will add a touch of sweetness to the gravy). Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 90 minutes or until the roast is nice and tender. (Alternatively roast it in the oven for about 3 hours if using a marbled cut like pork butt and for about 2 hours if using pork loin or pork shoulder. Check periodically for doneness - as soon as the roast is tender - to avoid overcooking.) Discard the bay leaf and remove the carrots.
- Transfer to the roast to a warmed platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Whisk in the flour slurry and simmer until thickened. Add a couple of teaspoons or so of mustard and salt and pepper to taste.Slice the roast and serve with the gravy, potatoes and German sauerkraut.
