Gather all ingredients.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Make several small slits in the top of the pork roast, then place it in a roasting pan.
- 3
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, oregano, cayenne, thyme, mustard powder, and black pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- 4
Spread the spice mixture all over the pork and rub it into the slits. Place onion, carrots, and celery around the pork; season with salt and pepper.
- 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour 45 minutes. Increase the heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and continue cooking until the pork is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
- 6
Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Recheck the temperature; it should be at least 160 degrees F (75 degrees C) before slicing.
- 7
While the pork is resting, place the roasting pan with the vegetables and pan drippings over a stove burner set to medium heat. Whisk in flour and simmer to remove the raw taste, about 3 minutes. Whisk in stock, a little at a time, until the gravy is thickened.

Strain and serve with the pork.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
