Notes
- Leftover pork should be refrigerated in an airtight container and consumed within five days.
- For baking, cover pork with foil and bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F, then uncover and broil briefly for browning.
- Before grilling, pat pork dry, shake off excess marinade, and cook over medium-high heat, turning every few minutes until reaching 140°F internally; resting will bring it to 145°F.
- Letting the pork rest after cooking is crucial for juiciness and tenderness.
