It goes great with mashed potatoes, but you could also roast some potatoes in the oven right alongside the pork loin to make a complete dinner even more easily with no stovetop work involved.

Ingredients
- 1 2 –pound pork loin
- 1bottle of Guinness
- 2cloves of garlicminced
- 2 -3 sprigs fresh thymeminced
- 1 sprig fresh rosemaryminced
- 2tablespoons honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Season the pork loin liberally on all sides with salt and pepper. Mix garlic, thyme, rosemary, and honey to make a paste and rub all over the pork as well.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and sear the pork on all sides to get a nice, golden crust.
- Remove the pork loin to a roasting pan and pour in the bottle of Guinness. Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast for 1 1/2 hours. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before removing from pan to serve.
- You can make a gravy by melting 2 tablespoons of butter, stirring in 2 tablespoons of flour and cooking for 2 minutes. Pour in a little of the pan juices from the roasting pan and whisk well to dissolve the flour. Bring to a low boil to thicken, and you’re done. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired. Also, you can add a pan of potatoes to roast with the pork during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Yum!
