Roasted Pork Loin

Roasted Pork Loin:
3-4 lbs boneless pork loin
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbs dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp tarragon
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp rosemary
pinch red pepper flakes
3 gloves garlic
2 pieces bacon
2 bay leaves
1 large onion sliced in thick rounds
3 cups chicken stock
2-3 tbs flour

Combine oil, mustard, and next seven ingredients in a large plastic bag. Put the loin in the bag and massage. Let marinate a couple hours or overnight.

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. Place loin on top of onion slices. Add bacon bay leaves and 1 cup chicken stock to bottom of the roasting pan. Cook pork uncovered for about an hour  until internal temperature in 140 degrees. Remove and transfer to a platter, tent with aluminum foil and let rest 15 minutes. Place the roasting pan on the stove top and turn on high. Whisk in flour until it turns pasty, gradually whisk in more chicken stock until you have reached the thickness you want. If it doesn't thicken enough add a little more flour. Remove bay leaves and bacon the serve.
