Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the pork shoulder into thin strips, approximately 1/2-inch wide.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Stir well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are ashed over for even cooking.
Step 5
Remove the pork strips from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them directly on the grill grates.
Step 6
Grill the pork strips for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and have a nice char.
Step 7
Remove the strips from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.
Step 8
Serve the grilled pork strips hot, garnished with your choice of fresh herbs or a light salad on the side.
