  4. Drain in colander, discarding vegetables and water.
  5. Heat oil in same pan on medium high. Add drained meat and brown, turning occasionally.
  6. When meat is browned, add orange juice and Sazón and bring to boil. Place in oven, uncovered, until juice reduces and glazes meat, about 30 minutes. Stir every 5-10 minutes so it doesn't stick and juice evenly coats meat.
