Combine all the ingredients except the pork. Add the pork and marinate, covered and refrigerated, at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to 400°F. Drain the pork, reserving excess marinade to use for basting. Place the pork on a rack over a roasting pan. Roast for 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160°F and the juices run clear (the pork should be barely pink inside). Turn the pork occasionally and baste with excess marinade. Slice 1/4″ thick to serve.
