Schweinebraten (German Roast Pork)

Indulge in the rich, savory flavors of Schweinebraten, a beloved traditional German roast pork dish that has warmed hearts and homes for centuries. This succulent pork roast is infused with aromatic spices and cooked to perfection in a hearty mixture of dark beer and beef broth, creating a mouthwatering gravy that brings the dish together. Perfect for family gatherings or special occasions, Schweinebraten pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes and tangy sauerkraut, making it a true comfort food masterpiece.

Ingredients

Pork roast
3-4 pounds
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1 teaspoon
Caraway seeds
1 tablespoon
Garlic powder
1 teaspoon
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
Onion
1 large, sliced
Beef broth
1 cup
Dark beer
1 cup
Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, caraway seeds, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture evenly over the pork roast.
  3. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Push the onions to the side and add the seasoned pork roast to the pot. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. Remove the pork roast from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
  7. Deglaze the pot by adding the beef broth and dark beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
  8. Stir in the Dijon mustard until well combined.
  9. Return the pork roast to the pot, nestling it among the onions, and spoon some of the liquid over the top.
  10. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  11. Roast the pork for about 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the meat is tender.
  12. Once cooked, remove the pork roast from the pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  13. Serve the Schweinebraten with the onion mixture and pan juices, alongside creamy mashed potatoes and tangy sauerkraut.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the pork roast overnight with the seasoning mix.
  • 💡 Feel free to add root vegetables like carrots and potatoes to the pot during the last hour of roasting for a complete meal.
  • 💡 If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove the pork roast once cooked, and simmer the remaining liquid until reduced to your desired consistency.
