A pork loin roast doesn’t yield as much juices and so the gravy won’t have as much pork flavor. But if you follow the instructions below, you’ll still have tasty gravy.
Can You Use Cornstarch Instead Of Flour?
Yes, but you make cornstarch gravy a bit differently. You’ll mix the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of stock or water. Pour it into a saucepan and add 2 and 3/4 cup of liquid made up of drippings and/or other liquids (such as 2 and 1/4 cups stock and 1/2 cup white wine). Stir and cook over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce it to a simmer and cook stirring often until it is the thickness you’d like. Taste and season.
Note that cornstarch gravy doesn’t hold up as well in the fridge as flour gravy. I don’t recommend that you make it ahead of time because it loses its thickness as it sits.
