Roast Pork Loin

INGREDIENTS

1/4 plus 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

8 garlic cloves, chopped

1 bunch rosemary, chopped

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 pounds center-cut pork loin

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small bowl combine 1/4 cup olive oil, chopped garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.  Rub all over the pork, including the top, bottom, and sides.  Put the pork in a plastic bag.  Marinate overnight in the fridge.  Take the pork out of the fridge and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.  Brush off as much marinade as you can.  Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.  Add 2 Tablespoons oil and heat until it begins to shimmer.  Add the pork and cook until brown on all sides.  This takes about 10 minutes in total.  Transfer to preheated 400-degree oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until thermometer registers 135 degrees.  

Transfer to a board and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.  Slice into thin pieces.
