Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 lbs thinly sliced pork loin to the marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 1/3 cup white vinegar, 1/3 cup water, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 thinly sliced medium red onion in a jar. Let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour to pickle.
  4. Step 4: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with 2 tbsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Step 5: Remove pork slices from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until edges are slightly charred and pork is cooked through.
  6. Step 6: Serve pork topped with pickled red onions and a squeeze of fresh lime juice if desired.
