If you're on a quest to find a flavorful marinade for pork loin roast, look no further than this recipe from Seattle chef Ethan Stowell. Plenty of garlic and an entire bunch of rosemary are chopped up and combined with olive oil and a little salt and pepper. A juicy pork loin is slathered with this simple, potent mixture and left to marinate overnight. The bits of rosemary and garlic are then brushed off to avoid scorching and the pork roast is browned in a skillet before cooking to a juicy finish in the oven.

Rub the mixture all over the pork. Transfer the pork and marinade to a large, resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Let the pork stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush off as much of the marinade as possible. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering. Add the pork to the skillet.

Cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the pork to the oven and roast for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 135°F.
