💡 Why It Sticks
The tarragon’s fresh aroma meets the tang of Dijon, imprinting comfort with every bite.
🥩 Pork Roast: Tender, melt-in-your-mouth succulence that satisfies deeply, fueling ketosis and calming hunger.
🌿 Dijon Mustard: Bold, tangy depth with a whisper of heat, amplifying flavors while supporting blood sugar control.
🌱 Fresh Tarragon: Aromatic green intensity that lifts the dish, calming cravings with its herbaceous freshness.
🧂 Sea Salt: Pure mineral clarity, unlocking flavor complexity while supporting electrolyte balance.
🍋 Fresh Lemon Juice: Bright, tangy contrast that cuts richness, aiding digestion and refreshing your palate.
🧈 Grass-Fed Butter: Creamy, luxurious fat that nourishes and soothes, supporting steady energy and satiety.
🍖 Bone Broth: Silky, nutrient-dense base that adds depth, enhancing gut health and immune support.
🧄 Garlic: Rich, aromatic warmth that anchors the dish, boosting flavor and supporting metabolic health.
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F, letting warmth set the stage for tenderness.
2. Season the pork roast generously with sea salt, pressing it in—this is where flavor begins.
3. In a hot skillet, melt grass-fed butter until it foams, then sear the pork on all sides until a golden crust forms.
4. Remove the pork, then in the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until it whispers with fragrance.
5. Add Dijon mustard, fresh tarragon, lemon juice, and bone broth, stirring until the sauce becomes a silky embrace.
6. Return the pork to the skillet, baste with the sauce, then transfer to the oven and roast for 3 to 4 hours, slow heat transforming it into tender perfection.
7. Once cooked, let the pork rest for 15 minutes, allowing the juices to settle and flavors to deepen.
⚠️ DO NOT SKIP: Let the pork rest. This is where tenderness is locked, and flavor settles.
By Day 3, this ritual becomes a craving reset. You’ll crave the control, not the carbs.
