Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 (5 to 7 pound) pork loin or butt
1 pound button or cremini mushrooms
1 whole head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
Emeril's Red Hot Sauce or other hot sauce
Salt
1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
6 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 bunch green onions, green and white parts chopped separately
2 cups rich beef stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pierce the roast all over with the tip of a paring knife and stuff one clove of garlic into each hole, followed by a few drops of hot sauce. Sprinkle on all sides with Essence and garlic powder and rub into the meat. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the roast evenly on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, and enough water to come 1-inch up the sides of the pan. Add the teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and stir to combine and loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and add a more water as necessary to come 1-inch up the sides of the pan. Continue to cook until very tender, about 3 1/2 hours total cooking time.
  • Meanwhile, to make the gravy, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat, until milk chocolate-colored roux is formed, about 15 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, and the white part of the green onions, and cook until the vegetables are soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the beef stock and heavy cream and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until tender and golden brown around the edges, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and teriyaki sauce to the gravy and simmer until flavors come together, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Remove the roast from the oven and transfer to a platter. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Strain the pan juices through a fine mesh strainer into the gravy and simmer until heated through and thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve over the carved roast.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Pork Loin: Select a pork loin roast that is at least 3 pounds in weight and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the meat is tender and juicy after cooking.
  • Prepare the Pork Loin Properly: Before cooking, trim any excess fat from the pork loin and score the surface of the meat with a sharp knife. This will help the marinade or seasoning to penetrate the meat and enhance its flavor.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or seasoning: Pork loin is a versatile meat that can be seasoned in a variety of ways. Experiment with different marinades or rubs to find one that suits your taste. Some popular options include garlic and herb marinade, honey mustard glaze, or a simple salt and pepper rub.
  • Cook the Pork Loin to the Right Temperature: The ideal internal temperature for cooked pork loin is 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat is cooked to the proper temperature before removing it from the oven or grill.
  • Let the Pork Loin Rest Before Serving: Once the pork loin is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Pork loin is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be prepared in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can create a tender, juicy, and flavorful pork loin that will be a hit at your next meal. Experiment with different marinades, seasonings, and cooking methods to find your favorite way to prepare this delicious cut of meat.
