Pineapple Pulled Pork Al Pastor – Holy Smokes This Was Good

When I roast, or fume a pork shoulder exterior on the grill, I ordinarily pause a few rules, as well as past times a few, I hateful pretty much all of them. I run besides high a heat; I don’t twine my meat halfway through; or fifty-fifty bother mopping the meat alongside a marinade; as well as yet despite ignoring all those best practices, I’m ever thrilled alongside how it comes out.

Maybe it’s the brine, or that I’m simply easily satisfied, but it’s been my sense that if you lot flavor aggressively, as well as laid upwards the meat over smoky coals to an internal temp of 195 F., you’ll live on rewarded alongside tender, moist, as well as real flavorful meat. By the way, this was inspired past times the famous al pastor taco’s spice blend, as well as pineapple element, but I wouldn’t desire anyone to await this to gustation just similar that magical meat.

Having said that, this detail flavor profile actually plant here, peculiarly when the pulled pork is topped alongside grilled pineapple salsa. In fact, that materials was as well as then delicious, you lot should larn far fifty-fifty if you’re non barbecuing the shoulder. It’s swell on anything, including H2O ice cream; as well as then don’t permit the terminal of those hot coals larn to waste.

The solely existent challenge hither is maintaining a steady temp inwards your grill of betwixt 300 as well as 325 F. I assay to tumble out it simply to a higher house 300 F., which is accomplished past times adjusting the vents under, as well as on travel past times of the grill, or smoker. I also similar to showtime alongside a expert total of (real) charcoal, as well as then I don’t accept to reload it halfway through, but that depends on your set-up. Thanks to the brine, as well as spice rub, fifty-fifty if you lot terminate upwards having to produce this inwards the oven, I nevertheless intend it comes out quite well. In whatsoever event, there’s aught similar a juicy, pulled pork sandwich, as well as this is ane of my favorite versions, which is why I actually promise you lot laissez passer on it a assay soon. Enjoy!
