Directions:

  2. In a small bowl combine the cumin, paprika, salt, chili powder, cilantro and garlic. Sprinkle over the pork, turning to coat the whole piece.
  3. Add the beef broth and the bay leaf and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover.
  4. Cook the pork for 2 1/2 hours, turning twice. Make sure there is about 1-inch of liquid in the pan at all times. If it evaporates, replace it with water.
