Roast Pork Loin Method

     
   1. OK - Make sure your Pork Loin is well trimmed of any fat or gristle
   2. With a sharp knife make a series of diagonal cuts along the top of the meat, about 1/2 an inch apart 
      and 1/4 inch deep - now repeat the cuts diagonaly the other way. You will end up with diamond shaped cuts all over.
   3. Now turn the meat over and do the same on the other side.
   4. Rub the Bacon fat or butter all over the meat - making sure to rub it well in.
   5. Now roll the loin in the dried herbs and garlic - sprinkle with salt and grind plenty of black pepper all over.

   6. In a large Heavy Duty Skillet brown the meat all over for about ten minutes and then transfer to a preheated 
      oven at 180ºc./350ºf. for twenty minutes - then remove from the oven using a Max Temp Handle Mit and let it 
      rest for 5 - 10 minutes.
   7. Meanwhile make the sauce - it's really easy.
   8. Put all the ingredients except the corn starch into a pan and boil to remove any remaining alcohol from the 
      brandy. Slake the corn starch in a little cold water and add it - bit by bit - to the sauce - until you achieve 
      the desired consistency.
   9. Place the meat on your Carving Block for slicing.
  10. Spoon equal amounts of sauce on to four warm dinner plates and arrange 2/3 slices of the Pork on top.
