Ingredients

• 1 piece pork roast (boneless, 3-4 lbs)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 slices bacon, diced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels and season all sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat the olive 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. Remove the pork and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are golden and the onions are softened, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to create a thickened sauce.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, and the cooked bacon. Mix well and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Return the seared pork roast to the skillet, spoon some of the gravy over the top, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve the sliced pork roast with a generous ladle of bacon mushroom gravy on top. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
