Start by preparing the pork loin, which is tied up for even cooking.

Heavily salt and pepper the pork loin on all sides.

Heat olive oil in a stainless steel pan until shimmering.

Sear the pork loin for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Remove the pork loin and set aside.

Add more olive oil to the pan and add garlic cloves to flavor the oil, then remove them after a short time.

Add chopped onions to the pan and sweat them without browning.

Add tomato paste to the onions and cook for about 5 minutes to boost its flavor.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, and San Marzano tomatoes, mixing well.

Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Cook the sauce low and slow, checking every 15 minutes to avoid burning the bottom.
