Drunken Lemon Pepper Pork Roast

My first recipe post! Awesome!

This was dinner two nights ago.

My favorite two things to do with pork are a beer and garlic combo or a lemon pepper thing. So I decided to combine the two.

Here's the recipe.

Take a 2 2 ½ lb pork roast and soak it in two beers, four pressed garlic cloves and 2 tsp pepper. Let it soak at least all day, preferably overnight.
Pull the meat out of the fridge and drain off the marinade. Let it sit about an hour. Pat it dry and sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper and lemon pepper.
Heat a roasting pan on the stove, setting the rack to the side. Add olive oil. Sear the pork roast on all sides, about four minutes a side. Pull it out of the pan onto the rack.
Into the pan add three white potatoes and five carrots, chopped into ¾ inch pieces and tossed with olive oil, garlic powder and black pepper. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Put the rack with the pork over it.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes a lb.
The meat needed a bit more seasoning, probably more of a rub than a sprinkle, and the cooking needed to be more even. I'll probably tie it up next time if the cut is so uneven. But it was still pretty yummy. The potatoes and carrots were fucking incredible.
