This step is important because pork has a lot of fat and the steak twists if it is not tenderized beforehand.

Sprinkle salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. Remember to do it on both sides of the piece of meat.

In the mortar, crush the garlic. A trick to prevent the garlic from jumping is to add a little salt to the cloves before you start grinding. Once they are crushed, rub them on the pieces of meat. Add the sour orange (or lemon) while avoiding any seeds falling in, as they are unpleasant in the mouth and add a bitterness to the meat.

Let the meat marinate in this seasoning for approximately 30 minutes.

Place the pan over medium heat with oil for frying. Add the meat with the marinade. Cover it so that it cooks in its juices and turn it so that it browns on both sides.

While it cooks, chop the parsley finely and julienne the onion. Add them when you notice that the meat begins to reach your desired doneness.

Uncover it and let it reduce a little while browning all the ingredients.

It's a delicious recipe, easy to make and with a very Cuban flavor.
