Braised Pork Loin

A quick sear, then low and slow roasting will give you this tender, fall apart roast. The sauce is a combination of coffee, beef broth, orange juice and raisins/dried cranberries for a subtly sweet earthy taste.

Ingredients:

2 lb pork loin roast

salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tbsps olive oil

1/2 cup brewed coffee

1 onion, chopped

1 cup beef broth

1 tsp hot sauce

1 1/2 tbsp flour

1/4 cup orange juice

1/3 cup raisins and/or dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 325°F. Sprinkle roast with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in an oven safe skillet to medium high. Sear the meat on all sides, then add the onion for 2 minutes. Mix coffee and hot sauce together and pour in to de-glaze the pan. Combine the broth, orange juice and flour and pour into the pan, whisking while bringing it to a boil. Finally add the raisins/cranberries, spoon sauce over the top of the roast, cover and bake at 325°F for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serves 4
