re: Pork Loin and similar meats in skillet then oven

You're braising the pork loin, which I do all the time in my dutch oven and which you can do with tons of different meats. Replace the water in your skillet with white wine or a dry cider and you've got yourself an even better gravy. Add in carrots, onions, and cubed potatoes to your skillet/dutch oven and you've got a nice one-pot meal.
