Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork loin roast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels, then rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire surface.

Step 4

Heat canola oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roast on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Remove the pork roast from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and maple syrup, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Return the pork roast to the skillet, placing it on top of the vegetables.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the pork roast to a cutting board to rest for 10-15 minutes. Strain the liquid from the skillet into a heatproof bowl, discarding the vegetables.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Gradually whisk in the strained cooking liquid. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Slice the rested pork roast and serve with the homemade gravy on the side.
