Ingredients:

For the Roast:

2 medium potatoes (thinly sliced)

8-10 slices of bacon

1 cup of mushrooms (finely chopped)

1 small onion (diced)

1/2 cup of carrots (finely chopped)

1/2 cup of green beans (chopped)

1/4 cup of soy sauce

1 tbsp of honey

1 tbsp of olive oil

1/2 tsp of black pepper

1/2 tsp of garlic powder

1 tsp of cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp water for a slurry)

For the Red Wine Sauce:

1/2 cup of red wine

1/2 cup of beef or vegetable broth

1 tbsp of soy sauce

1 tbsp of butter

1 tsp of honey (optional, for sweetness)

1/2 tsp of cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp water for thickening)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Sauté the onions until translucent, then add the mushrooms, carrots, and green beans.

Stir in soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.

2. Assemble the Roast:

Lay out overlapping slices of bacon on a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper to form a rectangle.

Layer the potato slices on top of the bacon, slightly overlapping them.

Spoon the vegetable filling onto the center of the potato layer.

3. Wrap it Up:

Carefully roll up the bacon and potato layers around the filling, using the plastic wrap to help shape it into a tight roll. Remove the wrap once rolled.

4. Cook the Roast:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the potatoes are tender.

5. Prepare the Red Wine Sauce:

In a small saucepan, combine red wine and broth over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

Stir in soy sauce, butter, and honey. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.

Add the cornstarch slurry and whisk until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Let the Gotcha Pork Roast cool slightly before slicing. Drizzle the red wine sauce over each slice for an elegant finish.

Pair with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.

This refined version of the Gotcha Pork Roast is even closer to its Shokugeki no Soma inspiration. The savory red wine sauce elevates the dish, making it a true showstopper for anime fans and food lovers alike!
