Place the zipped bag in a baking dish, and put it in the fridge overnight, or several hours at least. Preheat oven to 425º. Place a wire 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 30 min. It should be lightly browned. Turn oven down to 375º. Roast for another 1 hour and 20-30 min or until a meat thermometer reads 160º. Transfer to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil and let rest at least 20 min.
