Directions
Preparation
Gather your ingredients before cooking
Season the Pork
Toss sliced pork with olive oil and Al Pastor seasoning.
Add lime juice and mix well.
Marinate for at least 30 minutes if time allows.
Cook (Stovetop Method)
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add pork in a single layer.
Cook for 6–8 minutes until caramelised and cooked through.
Stir occasionally for even browning.
BBQ Method
Preheat BBQ to medium-high.
Cook pork on a hot plate or grill pan.
Cook until lightly charred and cooked through.
What to Look For at the Finish
The pork should be caramelised at the edges with visible browning. The pieces should remain juicy, not dry. The seasoning should form a deep red coating with slight char spots.
Serving Suggestions
Warm tortillas and fill with pork, diced onion, coriander and lime. Add pineapple for sweetness. Serve with salsa and guacamole for a full taco spread.
