- Drain in colander, discarding vegetables and water.
- Heat oil in same pan on medium high. Add drained meat and brown, turning occasionally.
- 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.
