Steps
- Combine the orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and achiote in a blender.
- Blend all ingredients until smooth. (Optional: Add water or beer to adjust consistency.)
- Place the meat strips into a glass bowl or container.
- Pour approximately 4-5 cups of the marinade over the meat.
- Rub the marinade thoroughly onto both sides of the meat, ensuring it is well coated.
- Cover the marinated meat with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for marinating. (Marinate thin cuts like fajitas/steaks for 2 to 4 hours; overnight is better.)
- Preheat grill to 550 degrees F.
- Clean the grill using a halved onion, making crisscross patterns on the grates and rotating until clean.
- Place meat strips onto the hot grill.
- Season with extra salt/seasonings as desired.
- Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side over high heat. Use the 'flippity flip' method (flip frequently).
- Once initial searing is achieved, close the lid to maintain temperature and allow moisture to cook into the meat.
- Flip the meat once more after a few minutes of closed-lid cooking.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2 to 4 or 5 minutes per side until desired internal temperature (e.g., 135°F - 160°F) is reached.
