• 6. Add the orange juice, chicken stock, and bring to a boil.
• 7. As soon as you see bubbles along the side of the pan, transfer the skillet to the upper shelf of the oven and roast the pork for about 35 minutes, or until thermometer reads 145 degrees.
• 8. Transfer to cutting board and let res, then slice.
• 9. Place skillet on stove top and turn to medium-high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 7 minutes. Sever sauce alongside sliced pork.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

• Add the broth and continue cooking until the sauce has reduced by half. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, one piece at a time, until fully incorporated.
