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 loin, 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 loin 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 loin 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 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). (Don't clean the skillet, you'll need it for the next step in making the gravy.)
- 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.

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?
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.
Fantastic dinner, thank you
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!
Awesome recipe! I have a huge cast iron skillet so I added multi colored new potatoes while baking. Came out so tasty!
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
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!
The whole family absolutely loved how juicy and tender this pork came out. Really great job on the recipe. It came out so perfectly
I’ve made this recipe 3 times now. It is my go-to pork recipe. Very easy, simple recipe and technique and it’s delicious.
