Steps:
- Rub salt on all sides of the pork and set it aside.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, add cumin, peppercorns, allspice, cloves and cinnamon stick. Toast for a minute or two until you can smell the cumin and pepper. Grind the toasted spices (I use a spice grinder or coffee grinder) to a powder.
- In the same skillet, toast the garlic cloves until they're charred all over, then add to a blender or food processor.
- Transfer the toasted ground spices to the blender or food processor with the chile powder, oregano, achiote paste, citrus juices. Puree until smooth. Set aside.

CHEF JOHN'S YUCATAN-STYLE GRILLED PORK
This may not be an authentic Yucatan peninsula recipe, but it's just like a similarly named dish I had at a sports bar. It has vibrant citrus/chile flavors and a beautiful orange hue from ground annatto.

Steps:
- Place orange juice, lemon juice, and lime juice in a bowl. Add garlic, kosher salt, annatto powder, chipotle powder, ground cumin, cayenne, oregano, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Cut the tenderloins in half crosswise; cut each piece in half lengthwise. Place pieces in marinade and thoroughly coat with the mixture. Cover with plastic wrap with the wrap touching the surface of the meat and marinade. (Or transfer mixture to a resealable plastic bag.) Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
- Transfer pieces of pork from marinade to a paper-towel-lined bowl to absorb most of the moisture. Discard paper towels. Drizzle vegetable oil and a bit more annatto powder on the pork.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place pieces evenly spaced on a hot grill. Allow meat to sear onto the grate until pieces can be easily turned, 4 or 5 minutes. Turn and grill on the other side another 4 or 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 to 140 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer onto a serving platter and allow meat to rest about 5 minutes before serving.

MEXICAN PULLED PORK - YUCATAN STYLE
This is a different style of 'pulled pork' from Southern Mexico that I've modified for the grill. It lacks the authentic banana leaves of the original, but the grill cooks the marinade paste into a delicious 'bark' that brings great flavor to the shredded pork and will definitely impress your friends! We eat this like 'tacos'...

Steps:
- 1. Using a sharp knife, deeply pierce the flesh of the pork and insert garlic pieces evenly all over the roast.
- 2. Combine Achiote paste, cilantro, olive oil, cumin, salt, chile powder, pepper, liquid smoke, cloves, allspice, and oregano in a bowl and mix together to form a marinade 'paste'.
- 3. Cover pork generously with the seasoning paste. Use it all even if it looks like a lot! Marinade overnight in the refrigerator.
- 4. Place pork in a shallow foil tray - fat side up - and cook indirectly (meaning the burner(s) directly under the pork are not on, but the others are, and the top is down) on the grill for about 4 hours or until internal temp of about 160 degrees is reached. If using a smaller size roast, reduce the grill time accordingly - just monitor the internal temp.
- 5. Cover pork (still in its foil tray!) in aluminum foil and leave on the grill for another 60-75 minutes or until internal temp of 195 is reached. This is key - in order to be able to 'shred' pork from a shoulder you need to get the internal temp up to 195. I find those last 30-40 degrees seem to take forever, so I cover with foil to accelerate after it gets to 160. DON'T turn up the grill temperature - that won't work :)!
- 6. Remove from the grill after reaching 195 degrees and let rest under foil for 10 mins - retain pan drippings.
- 7. Remove and discard fat and skin and 'shred' the pork into thin strings by pulling it apart with a couple of forks. If you don't get it to 195 degrees, then it won't shred and you'll have to chop it - not a horrible thing, but not as good! Pour about half the pan drippings back over the shredded pork, mix, and serve with warm tortillas your favorite Latin condiments! Enjoy

YUCATECAN-STYLE PORK
Steps:
- Put pork in a large bowl and rub with 1 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons juice.
- Toast peppercorns, cumin, and allspice together, then cool slightly. Transfer to grinder along with annatto seeds and grind to a powder. Transfer to a small bowl.

- Toss pork with paste to coat well. Add onion and toss to combine.
- Holding both ends of a banana leaf, drag leaf over a burner on moderately high heat slowly until it changes color slightly and becomes shinier, then turn over and toast other side. Toast remaining banana leaves in same manner.
- Line roasting pan with leaves, shinier sides down, by arranging 1 leaf lengthwise and 2 leaves crosswise, letting excess hang over sides. Trim overhang to about 8 inches on all sides.
- Transfer pork mixture to banana leaves, then fold overhang of leaves over pork to enclose completely. Cover pan tightly with foil and chill, at least 6 hours.
- Put oven rack in middle position, then put pan with pork in oven and heat to 400°F (to take chill off pork gently).
- Once oven has reached 400°F, bake until pork is very tender, 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours.
- Discard foil and open banana leaves, then serve pork with salsa and tortillas.
