Cooking Instructions:

  1. Slice pork shoulder into 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick slices and pat dry; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together oil, vinegar, chilli powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, garlic, salt and pepper. Add pork slices and turn to coat evenly with spice mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 325ºF (160ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
