Close-up of a juicy grilled steak with sides of green peppers and fries. Perfect for a mouthwatering meal.

Method

  1. Start by prepping your olive oil, garlic, yellow onion so the cooking goes quickly.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the carnitas, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Fold in the black pepper and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
  5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a spoonful of yogurt and a final crack of pepper.
  6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
