Melt-In-Your-Mouth Rosemary Pork & Herb Roasted Potatoes

Fresh Rosemary on my windowsill...
Fresh thyme in my herb garden... Preparing the pork roast...

Supper last night at our home ~ a delicious platter of succulent pork roast on a bed of caramelized potatoes and sweet onions. Oh so yum! There was not a scrib or scrab left for anyone else in the family - and it was there was only 3 of us eating at that time (plus the baby who promptly flung every potato and pork piece unto the floor-she thought she was entertaining us-not so much!!) My son gobbled up most of the potatoes before I could even get them on the table. This is so easy with such outstanding results!
Melt-In-Your-Mouth Rosemary Pork
3-lb. boneless pork loin
(prepare meat on both sides with a generous portion of kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper-followed by sprinkling on onion powder and garlic powder - then rub entire port with herb and oil mixture)

Herb Oil Rub
1 T olive oil
1 T Italian Seasoning
1 T dried rosemary
2 T fresh rosemary (chopped)
2 T fresh thyme (chopped)

Dredge meat in seasoned flour. Add 1 T olive oil to a large skillet, brown pork on all sides.
Slice 1 large onion and place in the bottom of a dutch oven or slow-cooker.
Remove pork from skillet and place on top of onions.
Deglaze the skillet with 1/2 c beef stock and 3 T Worcestershire sauce.
Pour sauce over meat and onions.

If using a dutch oven - bake covered in a 250 degree oven for 3 hours. If using a slow-cooker then use the high setting for 1 hour and then reduce to low for 2-3 additional hours.
Once the pork is finished you can make a delectable gravy with the drippings by adding 1/4 c water and 3 T flour whisked smooth. Combine with pan sauce and stir over high heat until thickened and bubbly.

Seasoned Flour
1 c flour
1 t kosher salt
1/4 t fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 t paprika
1/8 t nutmeg

Herb Roasted Potatoes
Potatoes~12 Red Bliss or combine with white - diced. (whatever you have on hand)
Lay potatoes on a sheet pan and coat with olive oil. Sprinkle on a generous amount of kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Top with 2 T each of fresh chopped rosemary and thyme.

Bake in oven @ 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are soft and caramelized.


Psalm 73:28
It is good for me to draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord God,
that I may declare all Your Works.
