For a smoky flavor, try grilling the pork slices over medium heat instead of pan-frying. Add a splash of orange juice to the marinade for extra sweetness and depth of flavor. Serve with black beans, rice, and fried plantains for a complete Cuban-inspired meal.

01 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Pork and Marinade: Gently flatten the pork tenderloin slices between two sheets of plastic wrap to tenderize them slightly.
