METHOD
Why It Works
Slow cooking the pork in seasoned broth builds a deeply savory gravy. Thickening the juices at the end turns them silky.

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Topping
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
What cut should I use?
Pork shoulder pulls apart tender; a loin roast stays sliceable.
What should I serve it over?
Mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Can I make the gravy ahead?
Yes. Thicken it just before serving so it stays smooth.
Quick Fixes
Gravy too thin: stir in a cornstarch slurry and simmer.
Pork not tender: cook longer until it pulls apart.
Gravy too thick: loosen with broth.
