Instructions

  1. In a dish, mix the lime juice, crushed garlic, Lizano sauce, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper.
  2. Add the pork slices, coat them well and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
  3. Thinly slice the onion.
  4. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat until it lightly smokes.
  5. Sear the drained pork slices for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, in batches so they don't stew.
  6. In the same pan, fry the onion strips for 2 minutes with a little of the marinade.
  7. Return the meat to the pan, add the remaining marinade and let it reduce for 1 minute.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve straight away, piping hot.

Variations and tips

Version for children. Halve the lime juice and skip the paprika for a milder flavour.

Making do with what's available. If you can't find Lizano sauce, a soy sauce with a little cider vinegar works perfectly.
