We're cooking up Pork Pastor Skewers on the Weber Searwood with our Ambassador Alex Snodgrass (The Defined Dish).
For the Pastor Sauce:
2 cups diced pineapple
1 tbsp. distilled white vinegar
2 tsp. ancho chile powder
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves
4 garlic cloves
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
For the Pork:
2 pounds pork tenderloin, excess fat removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
For the Skewers:
Ten (6-inch) skewers (if wooden, pre-soak for 15 minutes)
1 cup medium diced pineapple
For the Bowls:
1 cup prepared cilantro-lime rice
Pickled red onions
Guacamole
Fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges
In a high-speed blender, combine all of the sauce ingredients and blend until smooth. Reserve 1 cup of the sauce and store in the fridge until ready to use.
To a large bowl, add the cubed pork, salt, and pepper with the remaining sauce. Cover and marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hrs.
Next, thread the pork and pineapple onto the skewers. I like to do 3 to 4 cubes of pork, then a pineapple cube, then repeat. Using two skewers together makes it easier to flip and less likely to spin or slither off.
Add Mesquite pellets to the grill and preheat to 375℉
Place the pork skewers directly on the preheated grill grates. Line up the skewers side by side without overlapping. Cook the pork skewers, brushing with ½ cup of the reserved sauce (saving the rest for serving) every so often, for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the skewers and grill another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side, painting with sauce. When done, the middle of the pieces should be soft, juicy, and cooked through.
Serve over cilantro-lime rice and drizzle with a bit of the remaining pastor sauce. Add a scoop of guacamole alongside the skewers. Top with pickled red onions, a little cilantro and a wedge of lime!
