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.

"At first I thought that pureed carrotts can't possibly make a great sauce, but this went great on the pork. I used Smithwicks beer, and it was fabulous! My whole family loved it. I served it with twice baked potatos."
