A flavorful pork roast infused with garlic and served with a delicious herb gravy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the roast inside for even cooking.
Make small incisions in the pork roast and insert the garlic cloves.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and ensure the garlic is evenly distributed.
Season the pork roast with salt and black pepper.
Rub the seasoning evenly over the pork for consistent flavor.
Place the pork roast in a roasting pan and cover with foil.
Covering the roast helps retain moisture during cooking.
Roast the pork in the oven for 2.5 hours.
Check the internal temperature of the pork to ensure it reaches 145°F (63°C).
In a saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in the cornstarch to form a roux.
Cook the roux until it turns a light golden color for a nutty flavor.
Gradually add the chicken broth to the roux, whisking constantly.
Whisking constantly prevents lumps from forming in the gravy.
Add the thyme and rosemary to the gravy and simmer for 5 minutes.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the pork roast sliced with the herb gravy on the side.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an elegant presentation.
