Tips: Because the marinade contains honey, the surface can burn easily, so keep an eye on the color during the last 10 minutes.
Tips: Let the meat rest briefly after roasting instead of cutting it right away to retain more of its juices.
Tips: If you don't have an oven, cover the pan and cook the pork over low heat, turning it occasionally, then briefly sear the surface over high heat at the end.
