Let’s talk about the seasonings we use for our dry rub!

We combine a few awesome herbs and seasonings to make the dry rub for this pork roast. If you’ve never tried herbs de Provence, I’d encourage you to give it a try. It gets its name because its ingredients are commonly used in the Provence region of southeastern France. Although you may find some variety of ingredients based on the brand you choose, the seasoning mixture is similar to Italian seasoning. It’s different in that it adds lavender which gives it an awesome, but not overpowering, floral aspect. The blend I use contains basil, lavender, marjoram, rosemary, sage, savory, and thyme. To our herbes de Provence, we add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This seasoning mix is generous rubbed evenly over the pork roast and creates an amazing crust while keeping the pork nice and juicy!

How do I use the drippings from this herbes de Provence pork roast to make homemade keto gravy?

It’s quick and easy to make keto gravy using the roast drippings. You’ll melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet, over medium high heat. Once melted, add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Xanthan gum is our thickener. You’ll want to quickly whisk this mixture to avoid having any lumps. I strain some fat from my drippings, but that’s a personal preference and you can skip that step if you’d like. You’ll want to combine the drippings with enough beef broth to equal a total of 2 cups of liquid. Add this liquid to the skillet and whisk to combine. Then increase the heat to high and bring the gravy to a boil while whisking frequently. Once it comes to a boil, you’ll let the gravy cook for a minute, whisking frequently. You can then add salt and pepper to taste.
