1

Prepare a high baking dish for the keperí.

2

Add the juice of an orange to the dish for flavor.

3

Incorporate soy sauce into the mixture.

4

Grate ripe papaya and add it to the dish; it will help tenderize the meat.

You can also use green papaya or papaya peel as a substitute.

6

Add finely chopped garlic to the mixture.

7

Squeeze in juice from a mandarin lemon for a special flavor.

8

Season with salt, ensuring to add a good amount for flavor.

9

Add ground black pepper and cumin to the mixture.

10

Mix all ingredients well to combine before adding the meat.

11

Add the keperí meat to the dish, ensuring it is submerged in the marinade.

12

Cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight, or at least for 3 hours.

13

After marinating, remove the meat from the marinade and clean off the papaya and marinade mixture.

14

Prepare a baking dish with aluminum foil at the bottom to prevent sticking.

15

Strain the marinade to keep only the juice and reserve some for later use.

16

Place the meat in the baking dish and pour the reserved marinade juice over it.

17

Cover the dish and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 1 hour.

18

After 1 hour, check the meat for tenderness; it should be very soft.

19

Add the reserved marinade juice to the meat and return it to the oven for an additional hour at 160°C (320°F).

20

After the second hour, uncover the dish and let it cook for another 15-20 minutes to brown the top.

21

Baste the meat with the juices every few minutes to prevent it from drying out.
