Begin by slicing the pork shoulder into thin strips, approximately 1/2-inch wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are ashed over for even cooking.
Remove the pork strips from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them directly on the grill grates.
Grill the pork strips for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and have a nice char.
Remove the strips from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.
Serve the grilled pork strips hot, garnished with your choice of fresh herbs or a light salad on the side.
