A flavorful pork roast infused with the rich taste of coffee and aromatic herbs, perfect for a hearty meal.
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Using a hot skillet helps to sear the meat quickly, locking in juices.
Sear the pork roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Searing creates a flavorful crust on the roast.
Place one sliced onion in the bottom of a roasting pan.
The onion acts as a natural rack for the roast.
Combine soy sauce, coffee, bay leaves, oregano, and minced garlic in a bowl, then pour over the roast.
Mixing the marinade beforehand ensures even flavor distribution.
Place the seared pork roast on top of the onion in the roasting pan and top with the second sliced onion.
Layering onions adds flavor and keeps the roast moist.
Cover the roasting pan with foil and bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, basting the roast every hour with the pan juices.
Basting keeps the roast juicy and flavorful.
Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender.
