How to Make Cubano Style Pork Loin

  1. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together 1 cup sour orange juice (or substitute with a mix of orange and lime juice), 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/2 cup strong brewed black coffee, 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon ground cumin.
  2. Place the 3-4 lb pork loin in the marinade, ensuring it's fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the pork halfway through.
  3. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the marinated pork loin in a roasting pan. Pour the remaining marinade over the pork.
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Roast for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 185°F (85°C). Baste the pork with the pan juices every 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest on a carving board for 15-30 minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve with recipe #373864 (raisin-orange sauce) and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
