Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Pat pork dry with a paper towel, then season all over with salt and pepper.

Add half the orange juice, 1 TBSP vinegar, and 1 tsp honey (we sent more vinegar and honey) to a large bowl and stir to dissolve. Whisk in a large drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
