Ingredients
- 1 boneless pork loin roast, about 4 lb. rolled and
- tied
- 1 large garlic clove, halved
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 3 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- <b>Prepare the pork</b>
- Preheat an oven to 450&#176;F. Pat the pork dry with paper towels, then rub it all over with the cut sides of the garlic clove. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
- <b>Roast the pork</b>
- Place the pork, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan just large enough to hold it comfortably. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400&#176;F and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 145&#176; to 150&#176;F and the pork is barely pink in the center, 1 to 1 1/4 hours more. Transfer the pork to a carving board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let stand for 10 minutes.
- <b>Prepare the pan sauce</b>
- Meanwhile, remove the rack from the roasting pan and place the pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the butter and stir with a whisk to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Sprinkle in the flour, and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes. Add the wine and broth and stir until smooth and thick. Snip the strings and slice enough pork for 1 meal. Serve the pork drizzled with the pan sauce. Let the remaining pork cool, then store for later use (see note above). Serves 4; makes about 4 cups shredded or thinly sliced roast pork total.
