Steps:

• wash and pat dry roast.
• mix all dry ingredients together and rub onto roast.
• spread a liberal amount of mustard onto roast.
• heat oil in a heavy roasting pan (enameled cast iron works well) on top of stove and brown carrots and leeks.
• push vegetables aside and brown roast from all sides in the very very hot roasting pan.
• ad onions INCLUDING the brown skins (this is VERY IMPORTANT since it will give your gravy an good color).
• ad broth and transfer everything to the oven.
• roast covered for 1 1/2 hours at 350°F.
• uncover, stir onions and veggies.
• turn roast over and roast uncovered for 1 hour (if liquid evaporates a lot, add some more occasionally.
• once roasting time has finished transfer meat to a plate to rest.
• take a basting brush, dip into the hot liquid and scrub all the sides of the roasting pan (and the lid if necessary). All the brown stains on the walls of your pan will ad flavor and color to your sauce!
• strain all the liquid through a fine meshed strainer (stainless steel will work better then the plastic ones). Press solids vigorously with a spoon to press as much liquid (as well all solids that can get pressed through) through the strainer into a sauce pan and reduce slightly on high heat.
• Slice roast into 1/2 thick slices and pour gravy liberally over everthing.
• Best served with potato dumplings and sauerkraut.

SCHWEINEBRATEN - GERMAN PORK ROAST RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175C). Place about 2 - 3 tbsp. of selected oil into a frying pan and begin to heat. Slice one clove of garlic and place into oil. Saute slightly. Rub down loin with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, place into pan and lightly brown. Repeat on all sides. Slice onions into thin rings and line bottom of roasting pan with the onions, carrots, remaining garlic clove, and some apple chunks. Place browned meat onto vegetables, fatty side down. Sprinkle meat with caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Lay the garlic from fry pan over the meat - do not add oil! Place bacon slices over top. Add 1/2 cup of liquid of your choice - wine, beer, broth or water. If adding juice instead of apples, add it now. Cover with lid and place in preheated oven. Cook for about 30 minutes, turn meat over. Baste with about a 1/2 cup more of fresh liquid, as well as pan liquid. Cook for another 15 minutes, add 1/2 cup more liquid, baste, and add in 1 vegetable bouillon cube. Cook until internal temperature is at least 160 degrees - about another 15 - 20 minutes. Remove meat to plate and keep warm. Strain juices into a pan and add more liquid if necessary. Place sauce pan on stove, at about medium high heat, and add in 2 tsp. cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup of water. Boil, stirring constantly, until thickened. Reduce heat and add sour cream if desired. Mix through. Slice meat thinly, and drizzle some sauce over it. Serve.
