Crock Pot Pork Loin Roast

Fall apart tender roasted pork loin that is crock pot simple. Paired with root vegetables and gravy and you have a hardy family meal.

So the story. There is always a story right. We have some visitors schedule for mid morning our home, and after the dogs rolled in the mud and required a shower, there was no time to eat. So off to brunch.

Our chosen restaurant turned out to be way too busy. We wanted breakfast not lunch and ended up at Bob Evens. I find their food fairly good, and breakfast is all day and is their best food. They were advertising a takeout pork roast dinner. So the brunch discussion was pork roast. Add a little iPhone Googling and we had our plan.

We would start with about 3 pounds of pork loin. Give it a good coat of garlic (the only “spice” my wife cares about) and cook to fall apart in a crock pot with root veggies. Then smother in gravy. Sounded great.

Rating

A low 4 or higher 3. Pork loin which is low in fat will be a little dry. But the gravy handled that very nicely.

Notes: You can add other spices like thyme if you want. I considered a brine, but this is a thick chunk of meat. I’m not convinced it would do much.

They are so proud of themselves. How did they wrap it though the legs?

Start with a marinade of garlic and soy sauce. Combine six cloves garlic crushed, two tablespoons soy sauce and two tablespoons olive oil.

Combine in a 1-gallon zip lock bag with a 2 1/2 to 3-pound pork loin. Squeeze all the air out and seal. Refrigerate for the 1-hour minimum but overnight is better.

When ready to cook, prep root vegetables. I went with six medium potatoes, four carrots, one large parsnip, and a medium onion.

Add two cups of vegetable broth, one teaspoon salt and one teaspoon pepper in a larger crock pot. Add the pork loin fat side up.

Add the root veggies and cook on low for 8 hours.

Remove the vegetables to a bowl and meat to a platter.

Place 2 cups of the cooking liquid in a saucepan. Mix 1/2 cup flour with 1/2 cup cold water and mix well. A Tupperware shaker works well for this or just whisk it together. Bring the liquid to a boil. Slowly add the flour mixture while continuing to whisk until thickened.
