any suggestions on a marinade for the pork? Its not really something I see available to buy pre-marinated, will the pork have enough flavor without it? Also curious what the best cut of pork is for this, pork loin? pork shoulder?

What is a "garlic and herb" sirloin? Is it raw or pre-cooked? And the recipe refers to pork in the last step -- I assume that's a typo.

It is a pork roast. So it's marinated in garlic and herb seasoning and is uncooked.
