Pork Marinade

Cooking Ingredients

Method

Marinating the Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Place the pork shoulder in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the onion and bell pepper into thin strips.

  3. 5

    Sear the Pork

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and sear it on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 6

    Add Vegetables and Broth

    Once the pork is browned, add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and add bay leaves.

  5. 7

    Cook in the Oven

    Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

  6. 8

    Shred the Pork

    Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for a few minutes. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

  7. 9

    Serve

    Serve the Cuban-style pork with the cooked vegetables and broth, over rice or in sandwiches if desired.
