Ingredients:
- 8-10 garlic cloves
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp rosemary
- 4 lbs rack of pork
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1/2 cup port wine
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, and rosemary.
-
Season the Pork: Rub the salt, pepper, and rosemary mixture evenly onto the rack of pork, ensuring it is well coated. Next, pat the garlic cloves onto the surface of the meat, pressing them in gently. For added flavor, make several small slits in the meat with a knife and insert some of the garlic cloves into these holes.
-
Sear the Pork: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over high heat. Once hot, add the rack of pork to the pan and sear each side until golden brown, approximately 12-15 minutes in total.
-
Transfer and Bake: Once seared, transfer the rack of pork to a baking pan that is suitable for use on the stove top and in the oven. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
-
Prepare the Port Sauce: Remove the rack of pork from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board to rest. Pour off any excess fat from the pan used to sear the pork. Place the pan back on the stove top over high heat and add the port wine, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the port wine to reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add Beef Broth: Lower the heat to medium-high and add the low sodium beef broth to the pan. Allow the mixture to come to a slow boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Let the sauce cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until it has reduced and thickened slightly.
-
Final Touches: Skim off any excess fat that rises to the surface of the sauce. Slice the rack of pork into individual chops and serve hot, accompanied by the luscious port sauce drizzled over the top.
