You might be surprised how well pork roast and gravy go together. This simple recipe requires browning the roast all over in a dutch oven (heavy-bottomed covered roasting pot) to seal in the moisture. You’ll braise it right on the stovetop with onions & stock. Thirty minutes before it’s done you’ll remove the lid to reduce the cooking liquid. Adding some cream to the cooking juices right in the pan makes the gravy super easy to make. This is a warm, savory, and satisfying meal for Fall and pairs well with my walnut blue cheese radicchio endive salad.
prep tips:
- Allow the roast to come to room temperature before searing.
- I get all my organic and free-range meats delivered from Butcherbox – highly recommend!
- Remember to give yourself plenty at least two hours to fully roast your pork to tender.
- I love my Le Cruset dutch oven. It’s an investment piece you’ll have for a lifetime. Get a deep one that can hold large roasts.
one pot pork roast with gravy & onions
INGREDIENTS
- 1 3- pound boneless pork loin

- Add the onions, stirring until they soften; about 5 minutes.
- Add the stock. Cover and simmer over low heat for two hours (more if you have a larger roast).
- Remove the lid and cook for another 30 minutes, or until the cooking juices have condensed and reduced down by at least half.
- Remove the roast and set aside to rest.
- Add heavy cream to the cooking liquid and whisk to combine, pulling up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
