How To Make pork essentials: thrice-cooked yummy pork loin

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  Step 3
  Add all the rub ingredients together into a small bowl.
• 
  Step 4
  Remove the skin from the onion, cut pole-to-pole, slice into 1/4 inch (.6cm) half rounds, and reserve.
• 
  Step 5
  Take half the rub and rub it into the pork loin.
• 
  Step 6
  Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
• 
  Step 7
  Add about a tablespoon of grapeseed oil to an ovenproof skillet, over medium-high heat, and add the pork.
• 
  Step 8
  Sear on the sides and edges, about 1 - 2 minutes per side.
• 
  Step 9
  Chef’s Note: Keep an eye on the pork, and don’t allow the sugars in the rub to burn. We want a nice browning sear; not a blackened burn.
• 
  Step 10
  Place the pork loins on a parchment-lined baking sheet, fitted with a rack. Place into the oven, and allow to bake for about 25 minutes.
• 
  Step 11
  Chef’s Note: If you don’t have a rack, then turn the pork loins over, halfway through the baking process.
• 
  Step 12
  Wipe out the pan, add a bit more grapeseed oil, and reduce the heat to medium.
• 
  Step 13
  Add the sliced onions, and cook, while the pork is baking.
• 
  Step 14
  Chef’s Tip: You can add a pinch of salt to get the process started.
• 
  Step 15
  Remove the pork loins from the oven, and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.
• 
  Step 16
  While the pork is resting, add a tablespoon or two of water to the onions, and stir.
• 
  Step 17
  Cut the pork into thick slices, and sprinkle half the remaining rub on one side of the pork.
• 
  Step 18
  Push the onions to the side of the pan, and then add the sliced pork, rub side down. Sprinkle the remaining rub over the top of the pork slices.
• 
  Step 19
  Allow the pork to cook, for about 2 minutes, and then flip and cook an additional 2 minutes.
• 
  Step 20
  PLATE/PRESENT
• 
  Step 21
  Serve on a nice plate, top with some of the onions, drizzle on some balsamic glaze and serve with your favorite side (potatoes, rice, stewed apples). Enjoy.
• 
  Step 22
  Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
