Method
- Marinate meat with vinegar, soy sauce or salt, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns for 30 minutes.
- Heat annatto oil in a pot and brown the meat lightly. Leave space between the pieces; a crowded pan releases moisture and prevents proper browning.
- Add onion and cook until softened.
- Pour in the marinade and water, then bring to a boil without stirring for a few minutes.
- Lower the heat and simmer until the meat is tender.
- Uncover and reduce the sauce until orange, glossy, and balanced.
- Adjust with salt or sugar and serve with rice.
