Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 cup chicken stock

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and place it on a cutting board.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create a fragrant paste.

Step 4

Rub the rosemary mixture evenly over the surface of the pork loin, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pork loin for 2-3 minutes on all sides until golden brown.

Step 6

Once seared, pour the chicken stock into the skillet, surrounding the pork loin. This will keep the meat moist while roasting.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork loin for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and tent the pork loin with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Slice the pork loin into thick medallions and serve with the pan juices drizzled on top. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
