Steps

    1. Chop cilantro (1 cup) and garlic finely. Juice oranges (¾ cup) and limes (½ cup). Combine in bag: cilantro, garlic, orange and lime juices, oil, cumin, oregano, red pepper, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Add pork (wash hands), seal bag, and knead gently to coat.

Broil pork 10–15 minutes until top browns, then let stand 5 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with pan sauce.
