Ingredients

• 2 pounds Boneless pork loin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 2 pieces Kitchen twine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Thinly slice the yellow onions and mince the garlic.

Step 4

Add the onions to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Butterfly the pork loin: Lay the pork loin flat on a cutting board and slice horizontally about two-thirds of the way through, then open it like a book.

Step 7

Lightly pound the pork with a meat mallet to even out the thickness.

Step 8

Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly over the pork, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 9

Roll the pork tightly from one side to the other and secure with kitchen twine in at least two places.

Step 10

Rub the outside of the pork loin with the remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 11

Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork loin on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 12

Place the skillet with the pork into the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C).

Step 13

Remove the skillet from the oven, tent the pork with foil, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 14

While the pork rests, deglaze the skillet with chicken broth over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to create a light pan sauce.

Step 15

Slice the pork loin into 1-inch thick slices and serve with the pan sauce on the side.
