INSTRUCTIONS

Toss all ingredients into a crock-pot on high for 4-6 hrs depending on
how big the steaks are. When done, take out steaks and set aside to cool just a bit so you can cut them into cubes. Pour carnitas brew into a sauce pan and reduce by 3/4, then make a batch of corn starch and water to thicken the carnitas sauce.
