A flavorful and tender pork roast marinated in a zesty garlic lime mixture, perfect for a hearty meal.
Trim any excess fat from the pork roast.
Removing excess fat helps the marinade penetrate the meat better.
Make small incisions in the pork roast and insert slivers of garlic into each.
This step infuses the pork with a deep garlic flavor during cooking.
In a large plastic bag, combine lime juice, oregano, cumin, black pepper, salt, and onion slices.
Mix the marinade well to evenly distribute the spices.
Place the pork roast into the bag with the marinade, seal it, and refrigerate overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the roast inside.
Remove the pork from the marinade, discarding the marinade, and place the pork in a covered baking pan.
Using a covered pan helps retain moisture during cooking.
Bake the pork for 5-6 hours, turning it once halfway through.
Turning the roast ensures even cooking and flavor distribution.
Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
