Bohemian Pork Roast

Ingredients

  • pounds bone-in pork roast
  • tablespoons dried marjoram
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • tablespoons caraway seed

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Pat the pork roast dry, then rub it evenly with marjoram, salt, and pepper. I like to let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to help the seasoning penetrate. Heat a roasting pan over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides until nicely browned—this locks in juices. Sprinkle caraway seeds over the roast and pour water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the meat. Cover and place in the oven. Roast for about 90 minutes, checking that the internal temperature hits 160°F. For extra moisture, baste the meat with pan juices once or twice during cooking. Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving to redistribute the juices. Slice against the grain and serve with the natural pan drippings.

Chef's Tip

I always use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking—pork can dry out quickly. Removing the roast at 155°F and letting carryover cooking bring it to 160°F ensures every slice stays moist.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave with a splash of broth to keep the meat moist.

Variation Tips

Try rubbing the roast with crushed garlic or adding a splash of apple cider vinegar to the pan for tang. Serve alongside cauliflower mash or buttered green beans for a complete keto meal.
