4. Transfer to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil and let rest at least 20 minutes. Carve against the grain and serve.

3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a wire rack (I used a cooling rack) over a rimmed baking sheet. Place the pork on the rack and discard the marinade. Salt and pepper the pork well. Roast the pork for 20-27 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F, flipping halfway through roasting time. It should be lightly golden.
