Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Pork Shoulder cut into 1-inch thick steaks
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 large limes juiced
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Add the steaks to a large zip lock bag.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together to make the marinade.
  • Add the marinade to the zip lock bag. Press most of the air out and zip the bag closed. Massage the bag to coat both sides of the steaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or overnight.
  • When you are ready to make your carne asada, heat your grill on medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for approximately 8 minutes on each side. Thicker pieces may take longer to cook. Aim for an internal temperature of 160° F.
  • Remove to a cutting board, cover and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the steaks at an angle against the grain.
  • Serve hot.
