Roast Pork Loin with Onion Gravy
Ingredients
For the pork loin:
- 2 pounds (907 g) pork loin roast
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) yellow mustard
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 6 Tablespoons (90 g) unsalted butter
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) dried herb mix ( basil, oregano and/or thyme)
- kosher salt or sea salt , to taste
- fresh cracked black pepper , to taste
For the onion gravy:
- 1 large onion , diced
- 1/4 cup (30 g) flour
- 2 cups (480 ml) broth (beef, chicken or vegetable)
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Rinse and pat dry pork tenderloin, and then season with salt and pepper.
- MAKE THE PORK LOIN: Heat a large oven-safe skillet on medium-high heat. Add oil and then sear the pork loin on all sides until a crust forms, about 1 minute per side. Remove pork loin from the pan and set it aside.Coat the pork tenderloin with dried herbs by patting it onto the loin.
- Turn off heat and remove pan from the heat. In same hot pan add butter, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Stir the sauce until the butter is completely melted.Place the pork loin back in the skillet and spoon some sauce over the pork loin.
- Cover the pork tenderloin with foil and roast for 30 minutes. Remove foil, spoon some more sauce over the loin and cook for about another 30 minutes or until the loin interior temperature reaches about 140°F.
- Remove cooked pork loin skillet from oven. Remove the pork loin from the skillet and cover the pork with foil to let it rest for about 15 minutes (make the gravy while the pork is resting).
- MAKE THE GRAVY: Heat the same skillet with the pork drippings on medium-high heat. Skim off any crust chunks in the drippings. Add onions and cook until golden and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour, whisking to remove lumps. Gradually whisk in the broth until incorporated and well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (the saltiness and flavors will concentrate some when it reduces down).
- Reduce heat to medium, stirring often, simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes depending on your preferred thickness. Check for seasoning and salt again if needed.Slice pork loin and serve hot with the onion gravy.

Pork roast with onion gravy was amazing and super easy to make! I served with mashed potatoes and sauteed brussel sprouts
Hubby AND the kiddos cleared their plates, too. Thank you for sharing!!

Hi…. I am not an experienced cook so I would like to know how the roasted pork loin with onion gravy recipe can be adapted for a crockpot. Thanks so much.
Lynn E. says
We really enjoyed this pork and onion gravy. I used your instant pot pork roast directions to cook it and it was amazing! Thanks so much for both recipes 🙂
Best Recipe Box says
Thanks so much!
Alysia Intili says
We just got done with Sunday dinner and this recipe rocks the house! Hubby is a heart patient so I cut back the butter to 2 Tbsp and subbed olive oil, but the gravy turned out awesome. Thank you for the recipe love!
Best Recipe Box says
Hi Alysia! Thanks for sharing your results and so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Douglas Collins says
Made this the other night and it was great, although I had to make a slight change — we were out of Worcestershire so I substituted tamari soy sauce, it it worked well (Worcestershire can be rather dominant in some dishes, soy not so much). At the end I decided the sauce was a bit thick and added about ¼ cup of Sherry, which kicked up the flavor a notch. The next time I make this I may add mushrooms and maybe some carrots. Very veritas dish!
Best Recipe Box says
Sounds great. Love the how you made it to your own style.
KarenB says
Do you recover the roast with the foil the 2nd 30 min or leave off? It’s in the oven now lol
Best Recipe Box says
Hi! We do not re-cover with foil during the 2nd-30 minutes. But it does get covered in foil during the resting period in step 6.

Sara says
The pork roast turned out perfectly. I had never done pork loin roast before and was nervous but it was delicious, from the mustard sauce to the onion gravy. I added Brussels sprouts, a potato, carrots and celery in the second half hour to accompany it. Thanks for sharing!
Best Recipe Box says
Thank you Sara for trusting our recipe! We are so happy that you enjoyed it. Check out our other pork recipes too. Enjoy!
Barbara says
4.9. The pork loin was delicious. The herb seasoning and searing the meat made it pop. Thank you so much for the juicy recipe!
Julie says
Made this tonight – both 6 year olds at the table LOVED it as much as the adults! Probably adding to my Easter meal lineup…it was that great. I cut a four pound loin into two 2 pound pieces and doubled the recipe – it turned out just fine and I really didn’t even need to adjust cooking time. Also, the sauce was so great I forgot to make the onion gravy! We will have the gravy at Easter for sure!
Best Recipe Box says
So happy that your kids loved the dish. And that it’s going to be on your Easter menu. Thank you!
Phil Clark says
Perfect pork. Onions are sweet so adding some red papers might be nice next time.
Really delicious
Best Recipe Box says
Thanks for making the recipe Phil and so awesome that you enjoyed it. Love the red peppers idea!
Sasa says
This turned out fantastically good!!! Everyone wanted seconds. I’ll be doubling this next time! Yum!
Kati Durfee says
I made this for my boyfriends family. Served it with egg noodles for the gravy and they always ask me to make “that pork with the gravy” when they get a pork loin. I love this recipe and I love to add little things to it like potatoes in the pan or dijon mustard instead of yellow. Bottom line is this recipe is soooo delicious by itself !
Best Recipe Box says
We’re so happy that your boyfriends family enjoyed it! And great idea serving it with egg noodles.
Traci says
OMG this was AMAZING!! And super easy to make. I have never been a fan of pork but this definitely made me change my mind!
Best Recipe Box says
That’s what we aim for – super easy & AMAZING! 🙂 Happy you loved it!
Arielle Adams says
Made it tonight for dinner with a butter nut squash purée.. total hit
Pia says
I’m excited to try this esp after reading the reviews. I do however have a 4 1/2 pound pork loin. How much longer do I cook it for?
Best Recipe Box says
Hi Pia, you might want to add another 10-15 minutes in the oven. But definitely use a thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to your liking.
Kate O says
Fantastic dinner, thank you
Stephanie says
Delicious and relatively simple. Whisked flour with water into gravy to avoid lumps. Cooked onions about l0-15 minutes to caramelize. Gobbled up. Will make again. Thanks!
Patience S. says
Awesome recipe! I have a huge cast iron skillet so I added multi colored new potatoes while baking. Came out so tasty!
Jk says
Made this tonight after searching for a new recipe for pork tenderloin and this was so tasty and moist, the flavours in the gravy were superb Empty plates all around
Only change I made was I used Dijon mustard other than that I followed the recipe exactly
Best Recipe Box says
Thanks JK for the feedback and that’s super cool you had empty plates all around. Love the addition of dijon mustard to the sauce!
