Step 1: Rub the pork loin with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
Step 2: Lay fresh rosemary branches on side of loin where there is no fat. Wrap and secure with cooking twine.
Step 3: In hot cast iron skillet or roasting pan, place loin fat side down. Brown on all sides.
Step 4: Place skillet/roasting pan in oven and bake at 250 degrees for about 2 hours, until roast reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees. Time is going to depend on the meat itself and your oven. Start testing at 1 1/2 hours. OR place on grill heated to 250 degrees. You may remove the loin from the pan if you want grill marks.
Step 5: When done, remove roast from oven. Set on cutting board and allow to rest 20 minutes.
Step 6: Cut twine, remove rosemary branches, slice to desired thickness.
