2 teaspoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled

Papaya mango salsa, recipe follows

Make mojo: In a small bowl stir together all mojo ingredients until salt is dissolved. Chill sauce, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 24.

Trim all fat from pork. In a sealable plastic bag combine pork and mojo. Seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate pork, chilled, 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Drain pork, discarding marinade, and pat dry. In a small roasting pan roast pork 30 to 40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in center registers 160 degrees. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Cut pork into thin slices and serve with papaya mango salsa.
