Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork loin roast
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 cups Button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rub the pork loin roast with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roast on all sides until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Place the seared pork roast back in the skillet, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped thyme, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 5

Roast for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the pan juices halfway through cooking. Once done, remove the skillet from the oven, tent the pork with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

While the pork is resting, prepare the mushroom sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their juices and soften.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 8

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped thyme. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Slice the pork roast and arrange it on a serving platter. Pour the thyme mushroom sauce over the pork or serve it on the side.

Step 10

Enjoy your Pork Roast with Thyme Mushroom Sauce with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes!
