Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place pork into a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together vinegar, cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour over pork and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer pork to the hot skillet, reserving marinade. Cook in hot oil until nicely browned on the outside. Add orange juice, 1/2 cup water, onion, and reserved marinade. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pork is fork tender, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

In a small cup, stir together flour and 2 tablespoons water. Stir into the skillet and simmer uncovered until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes.
