  • Place the pork in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the pork is well-coated, and let it marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned.

  • Serve: Remove from the oven and cut in half.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious medianoche with sliced apples and sweet iced tea.
