Preparation
Step 1
Cut the pork lengthwise into 1-inch by 2-inch strips. Pierce the meat all over with the point of a knife. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the meat in a shallow baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to a day.
Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400°F. Transfer the meat to a rack in a roasting pan and bake for 45 minutes, turning and basting occasionally. Cool, slice, and serve warm or cover and refrigerate for up to a day (reheat gently before serving).
