Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 lb boneless pork loin roast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 cup beef or chicken broth
- all-purpose flour for the gravy
For the glaze:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp chili sauce or chili crisp
Instructions
- Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl or ramekin and mix well. Then, set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Combine dry rub seasonings and rub over the pork loin.
- Heat a tablespoon of avocado oil in the dutch oven on the stovetop and sear the roast on each side, including both ends. (about 1 minute per side)
- Add broth to the pot, then drizzle the glaze over top of the roast.
- Bake for 1 hour & 15 minutes uncovered or until internal temp registers 145°.
- Remove to a cooling rack to rest for 5 minutes.
- To make the gravy, place the pot back on the stovetop over medium-low heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of flour. Use a wooden spatula to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom and stir occasionally. Once the gravy starts to thicken (it doesn't take very long), transfer it to your gravy bowl.
Notes
- Be careful around the hot dutch oven. Use oven mitts and keep away from children!
- The glaze should be thin enough that it pours out of the container yet thick enough to stick to the roast's sides.
- Keep an eye on the broth while it bakes. It should be fine, but if it dries up, add more.
