Heat butter in the large skillet and cook the pork loin beautifully brown on both sides. The butter will be used for a lovely sauce later on, so don't throw it out.

Place the pork loin in the oven dish with the cuts upwards. Add the cloves in the cuts as well and divide the celery stalks and potatoes in the oven dish. Add some more pepper and salt over the potatoes.
