Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pinch dried marjoram
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 1 pinch dried basil
• 1 (3 pound) boneless, center-cut pork loin roast
• 16 ounces beer
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir minced garlic, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, dried thyme, mustard, marjoram, and basil in hot butter until fragrant, thick, and easy to spread, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

Place pork in a roasting pan. Spread garlic mixture over the top of the roast and season with salt. Pour beer into bottom of the roasting pan and cover pan with aluminum foil.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue to cook for 1 hour. Increase temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 5

Remove roast to a plate to rest and tent with aluminum foil. Place roasting pan over medium-low heat and whisk flour, garlic salt, and onion powder into the pan drippings. Cook and whisk until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve roast with gravy.
