Place the pork inside a zip top bag and pour the marinade in on top and press all air out of the bag. Place the zipped up bag in a baking dish or bowl, and put it in the fridge for 2-3 hours

Preheat the oven to 425° degrees F. Place a wire rack over a foil lined baking sheet. Place the pork on the rack and discard the marinade. Salt and pepper the pork well. Roast the pork for 30 minutes. It should be lightly browned. Turn the oven down to 375° F and continue to roast for another 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F.

Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes. Slice to pork against the grain in thin slices.
