Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cloves garlic -- chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 pound boneless pork loin
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
To prepare the glaze: Combine the garlic, rosemary, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over high heat, and bring just to a boil. Decrease the heat to low and cook 5 minutes longer, until the brown sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
To prepare the pork loin: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Season the pork loin well with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a very large ovenproof saute pan over high heat until smoking hot. Add the pork and sear well, about 5 minutes per side. Brush the pork liberally with the glaze, and set the pan in the oven.
Roast the pork loin for 15 minutes, brush with more glaze, and continue roasting 15 to 20 minutes longer for medium doneness. Let sit about 3 minutes before slicing. Slice very thin.
