Bourbon Pecan Pork Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 lbs rolled pork loin roast
salt and pepper
1/3 cup pecan pieces
1/4 cup Bourbon
3 tablespoons brown sugar

Preparation

Heat oven to 325\u00b0F.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and brown the pork on all sides.
Put the meat on a rack in a roasting pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cook 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the pecans to the oil in the frying pan, cook over medium heat 1 minute and remove.
Combine the bourbon, sugar and 1/4 tsp salt.
Add to the frying pan and boil until the sugar dissolves and bourbon reduces slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
After the meat has cooked 30 minutes, begin basting with the bourbon sauce.
Cook until a meat thermometer stuck in the center reaches 160\u00b0F, about 30 more minutes.
Five minutes before the meat is done, sprinkle with pecans.
