Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean and trim the leeks, discarding the tough green tops. Slice the white and light green parts into thin rounds and set aside.
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.75 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until deeply golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
Stir in the garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer until reduced by about half, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken stock and stir. Return the pork loin to the skillet, nestling it among the leeks and herbs.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Transfer the pork loin to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the pork rests, place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and lemon zest, creating a light sauce with the leeks.
Slice the pork loin into medallions and serve over the leeks, spooning any remaining sauce over the top. Enjoy!
