Smothered Pork Loin Roast In A Cream Sherry Sauce Food

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH A SWEET SHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the pork by tying it up with string in about six sections cross ways. Rub garlic, salt and pepper on each side of the meat.
• Add the olive oil to a large skillet and add the pork. Sear the sides for just a minute to so. Remove from pan and place on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Pour over the white cooking wine and loosely seal the foil around the pork. Place the pork in a roasting dish and place in your preheated oven. Roast for about 50 minutes. Pork should be just cooked and just a hint of pink in the center when it comes out of the oven.
• While the pork is roasting, make the sauce. Set a small saucepan over a high heat. Add the sherry and the sugar. Stir well and bring it to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the sauce for about a half of an hour. While the sauce is reducing, stir occasionally. Remove from heat and leave to cool slightly. You will have a syrupy consistency.
• Remove your pork from the oven and lay it on a chopping board. Take off the string and cut the roast into thin medallions. Serve hot with the sauce drizzled over the pork. As the sauce is quite sweet and rich, you won't need much of it to flavour your pork.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until cooked through (145 degrees F on a meat thermometer), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to rest.
• For the herby mustard cream sauce: Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat. Melt the butter, then add the garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook for a minute or two Sprinkle over the flour and cook, stirring, for an additional minute. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the cream thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the whole-grain mustard and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Slice the pork and shingle it onto a platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the top and sprinkle over some chopped parsley. Transfer the remaining sauce to a sauceboat or serving bowl and serve alongside the pork.
