Carne Adobada Recipe

Marinade Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Chiles

   In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the dried guajillo and ancho chiles, and let them simmer for about 10 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

2. 2

   Make the Marinade

   In a blender, combine the softened chiles, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Blend until smooth to form a marinade.

3. 3

   Marinate the Pork

   Place the pork shoulder steaks in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.
