Coat the pork in the marinade, cover, and chill for 2 hours.

Place pork on a foil-lined tray and roast at 400°F for 15 minutes, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
4
Glaze
Brush with reserved marinade and broil on high for 3–4 minutes, watching closely, until glossy and lightly charred.

Rest
Let the pork sit for 5 minutes so juices redistribute.
