Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 6 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the pork loin and pat it dry using paper towels. Set it aside on a clean cutting board.

Step 3

Mince 4 of the garlic cloves and finely chop 1 sprig of rosemary. Combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create a marinade.

Step 4

Rub the marinade all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 6

Slice the remaining garlic cloves in half and scatter them with the remaining rosemary sprigs around the pork loin in the skillet.

Step 7

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, then transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Roast the pork loin for 40-50 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork loin to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick pieces and serve with the pan sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
