Taco Tuesday Pics From Sunday (Al Pastor)

ssv3 · Nov 14, 2018

Ingredients for the marinade starting Sat night

Pork butt

Both from the money muscle end :nod:

Sliced

First step of the tenderizing process :mrgreen:

Then the next step

Overnight into Sunday

And I started on the salsas

Red and green (no pics of the green process)

Fresh tortillas

Ready to spin on the Jumbo Joe

Cooked, then shaved off onto the CI pan to crisp up the meat

And finally served :clap2:

Thanks for looking!

Hell to the YES! The king of tacos, made from scratch. I want some!

You definitely Sakoed that one!

Dayum! You put some effort into those, nice work!

Al Pastor is one of my fav pork preps. You nailed it. I can almost taste those tacos. ALMOST. Now I'll be thinking about them all day. Well done, Sako.

Fantastic! That last picture is off the charts

Good googly moogly! Those are stunning

LloydQ · Nov 14, 2018

Wow! Fantastic!

That looks fantastic Sako!

This thread hurts me. I was out of town last night and hungry for some Al Pastor. What they brought out was just shredded pork (certainly not authentic). I was disappointed. May have to make some this weekend.

Looks great, when I tried using a horizontal rotisserie for al pastor tacos I had issues keeping the meat on the spit rod, what's your secret? That one string wrapped around was enough to keep everything in place?

Thanks brother! I've been swamped with work in the last months so I hadn't really "got down" so to speak.:grin:

Thanks guys!

Marty,

I always shoot for Al pastor when I eat out because most places skimp on beef and buy cheap cuts so al pastor is the way to go. You aleays know what you get with Al pastor as opposed to gambling with beef dishes.

Holy cow, Sako. Please bring some of that action to the SW Bash. That looks incredible!!!

Thanks Nic! Yup! Some places will serve you shredded pork and call it pastor.

Righteous! I need to try this sometime.

Al Pastor is my all-time favorite. Great job with this cook!

I used twine but more than one that's visible. During cooking meat shrank as it does and some fell but I had the foil at the bottom catch it all. This was my first time using horizontal roti as usually I use the turkey hanger below. I just wanted to spin :mrgreen:

I had planned on sticking it with bamboo skewers again likenin the pick but was out of them.
