Beer Braised Pork Roast

Pork loin braised with carrots in dark beer. The pork is so tender and juicy, because it is cooked low and slow. The sauce has no beer taste just a flavorful, aromatic sauce. I definitely advise you to make this.

Ingredients:

• 1 pork loin roast, about 5 pounds
• 3 cups chopped onion
• 4 to 6 carrots, pared and diced
• 12 ounces dark beer
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 whole cloves

Preparation:

Brown pork loin roast in hot oil in a large Dutch oven or roasting pan. Drain all but 3 tablespoons of fat from pan. Sauté onions and carrots until softened; stir in beer, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and whole cloves. Return pork to pan or Dutch oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350° for 2 hours, or until pork is tender. Place pork loin on a serving platter and keep warm.

Pour cooking liquid from pan into a large bowl; skim off fat and remove bay leaf. Place liquid with vegetables into a blender; cover and process at low speed until smooth. Or, press through sieve or process in food processor in batches.

Pour processed beer sauce into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Spoon sauce over sliced pork to serve.
