Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine olive oil, garlic, chili powder, and cinnamon in a large shallow bowl. Add pork, and turn to coat evenly with chili cinnamon mixture. Sprinkle both sides of the pork with salt and pepper. Let the pork marinate in the rub for about 15 to 30 minutes.

Transfer pan to oven. Bake pork to desired doneness, 1hr 45min - 2hr. Let stand for at least 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.
