Barbecued Pork Skewers - Food Wishes

[@DonPandemoniac]

"Just let your fingers take over, they'll know what's up"' + "relatively consistent girth as we work our way towards the point". And that is why you should watch Food Wishes together with your significant other, and not have them accidentally listen in on it from another room.

[@murraylynn7631]

Made a version of this today and it was delicious. Why I say version, because I changed it up a bit. I used Pork Tenderloin instead of Pork shoulder because that is what was in my freezer. I made some slight modifications to the dry rub. I added ginger, a splash of Tamari soy sauce, a splash of Mirin, and a few drops of Sesame oil. I substituted some of the brown sugar with palm sugar. For the BBQ sauce glaze I used an asian bbq sauce that is inspired by a Korean Galbi sauce. The results were incredible. I will change it up like this again with Pork Tenderloin. It was a nice switch for a hot summer day. Especially good served with farm fresh baby potatoes and freshly picked beats and beat greens. Yum!

[@bzydad]

Made this last night and I used pork loin, marinated it for 8 hrs and cooked them on a cast iron grill because I live in the AZ where it was 110 degrees outside. Made your bbq sauce and it was a hit. Thank you for what you do and be safe.

[@Sven126]

Made this! What a great way to grill pork. I included onion in the skewers and it came out great. One of the benefits is that the little slices of pork is great for sandwiches. Thanks Chef John, you make my life better!

[@DanliciousFood]

Omg, wow, these pork skewers look insanely good, I can't wait to try this! 🤤 By slicing it instead of just putting chunks of meat on the skewer lets all that marinade flavor the pork, YUM!

[@tnthomas1954]

Tried this basic idea over the weekend, and liked it a lot. Used different seasoning and sauce, but those are details. Make sure to grill at a high enough temp to get good grill char on the outside. I did 20-25 min at 350-375 and then 15-20 min working up to about 450, then sauced and finished for another 10 or so, letting the temp drop back down and turning regularly throughout. Direct heat over charcoal, of course.

I had a heck of a lot more than what you did. I filled 5 skewers with meat. It turned out awesome!!! I'm glad I had more than 2 skewers. In my opinion, the spices in the recipe were enough for all the meat. You can never go wrong with Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce. I added a drop or 2 of orange oil to the sauce...OMG! Yum!!! Great recipe!!! Five stars

[@kerryblackburn7850]

I made this over the weekend, and holy cow (or pig). This recipe was absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend, if you are thinking about making this, go for it. The slicing up of the meat was a little time consuming, but that technique is what took this to a whole new level. Thank you Chef for another amazing recipe.

[@davidmeyer3795]

I always do my pork skewers with country style ribs in one long piece. I call them pork-scicles

[@chilanya]

Ha! I use my fleshy spatulas instead of tools whenever i can get away with in the kitchen (washing them often, of course). For tearing, mushing, kneading, mopping up spilt droplets and crumbs, scraping the side of the bowl or the side of a knife, hold the food instead of using a cutting board. And tasting, of course.

[@daintybite]

[@ReapTheWhirlwind]

I need to apply this technique to Char Siu. The pork would be cut to the perfect size and I would really just have to only dunk the meat in the wet marinade for the trip to the fridge. Since you're applying sauce during cooking you can baste the meat several times for that sweet bark that good Char Siu from a restaurant has.

Tried this at a socially distanced family BBQ this weekend and the skewers were the main talking point. Absolutely incredible!! About £6 of meat fed 12 people. Spot on!!!

[@jlohre]

This technique is so close to how you make a small scale Al Pastor! I have been trying to think of how to do that if I just want to make a taco night! Your recipe looks delicious. i will give it a shot.

[@tjzambonischwartz]

Oh snap, I'm gonna have to try that. I love al pastor.

[@epistte]

This meat would be excellent on a taco. Thanks for the hint.

[@TheRockGamingHD]

I was thinking about doing a version of al pastor like this as well. I'm wondering if the pork shoulder would be too tough at 160° or if it's better to take it lower and slower to about 185°, then sear it to give the fat and connective tissue a chance to render. Thoughts?

[@jonathanhawkins4544]

Thanks chef John for another great recipe. I was having a bit of a tough day, but watching your video and hearing your cheerful voice really helped. And also I have a new pork recipe. Thanks for your hard work.

[@michaelogden5958]

That would be great! In the written recipes (as appropriate): "Mix thoroughly with ten fleshy spatulas." A nice contrast to the freakishly small wooden spoon. :-)

[@fermentedbadger5717]

Love this idea and I'm going to have to try it. I'm not certain about other places, but in Southern Louisiana our grocers/butchers prepare some of their pork shoulder by cutting it into steaks with the bones in. Very popular barbecue fare in this area. I would think if this wasn't available at the counter of a local grocer you could get them to cut it into half inch steaks. They won't cook quite as quickly as Chef John's creation I'm sure.

Looks like a perfect technique for al pastor!!! May have to try it but worries about the marinade burning before it’s done. May wipe off excess and use to glaze at end... thanks!

[@UBvtuber]

I can see why Babish and Ragusea rave over this guy, because while their content is very entertaining and even educational: there's just a very professional and almost network television vibe to their stuff. Meanwhile, John's videos feel very cozy and old school KZbin. Like, it's not exactly windows movie maker and bad camera quality, but still it just has that sort of vibe. It feels like a middle age chef just cooking food he likes and making unintentional dad jokes, and I feel it's a nice change of pace and has a lot of charm that's missing with the more professional look. So yeah, all hail the OG foodtuber. :)

This reminds me of the Filipino pork barbeque streetfood which is awesome! Taking inspiration from that, I would probably skewer a slice of fat every few slices of lean meat to help against drying out + a ton of flavor from rendering it out.

[@lisacupp7871]

I must do this with more meat!!! That thin slicing then marinating is sooo good. Thanks for the yummy inspiration!

Adam Ragusea has a video explaining that brown sugar is just white sugar in which they have added back some of the molasses removed in the white sugar refining process... So I don't bother keeping brown sugar in the pantry anymore, just white sugar and molasses to add when a recipe calls for brown sugar. Brown sugar always seems to be dried out when I go to use it, whereas molasses has a virtually unlimited shelf life.
