Instructions

In a medium pot, add 2 cups water along with the chiles, garlic, onion, oregano, clove, cinnamon, and peppercorns.
Add a big pinch of salt.
Bring everything to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer and cook 15 more minutes.
Allow the mixture to cool and then transfer it to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Strain and season with salt to taste.
Pour it into a zip-top bag and add the meat.
Let marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
Preheat grill to direct, high heat.
Remove the meat from the marinade and grill until well seared and charred on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
Allow the pork to rest 5 minutes before serving.
