Chef's Note
For the most tender pork, avoid overcooking it. Remove from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 145°F and allow it to rest, which will let the juices redistribute throughout the meat. If you don't have a meat thermometer, invest in one - it's a game-changer for perfectly cooked proteins!
