  • Fresh thyme: “a few sprigs”

Meat

  • Pork neck: cut into slices (quantity not specified; one piece used)
  • Ribs (pork ribs): membrane removed; cut into sections (one bone + meat)

For skewers / layered assembly

  • Onion: cut into thicker slices (quantity not specified; “large one” mentioned)
  • Bacon / bacon slices: used on skewers; no extra seasoning needed
  • Jowl (pork jowl): “a bit” / “a slice” (and another piece for skewers; quantity not specified)

Equipment & prep steps

  • Outdoor grill / gazebo grilling setup
  • Skewers (for layered meat + onion skewers)
  • Spit/rotisserie-style grilling rack (used for one set; “spit that is already heated up so well”)
  • Hot coals (“hot coal”)
  • Remove the membrane from the ribs
  • Pre-cut meats:
    • Pork neck: slice lengthwise, then into not-too-thin slices
    • Ribs: cut into pieces (one bone + meat)
    • Onion: thick slices
    • Bacon/jowl: sliced for skewering

Step-by-step method (with key timing/temperature cues)

1) Make quick marinade

  1. Combine in a bowl:
    • ~4 bay leaves
    • Vinegar (tenderizing)
    • Tomato puree (color/flavor)
    • Chili
    • Salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper
  2. Add:
    • Chopped garlic (“a few cloves”)
    • 2 small onions
    • Sprigs of fresh thyme
  3. Press/mix everything well.

2) Marinate the meat

  1. Cut pork neck into slices (not too thin) and add directly into the marinade.
  2. Prepare ribs:
    • Remove membrane
    • Cut into sections (one bone + meat)
    • Massage thoroughly into the mixture
  3. Marinating time:
    • Leave at least 2 hours
    • Ideally 12 hours (best results)
    • In the video, meat had been resting about 1.5 hours before grilling.

3) Prep skewers

  1. Build skewers using the prepared components:
    • For the spit skewers/section idea: bacon/pieces, pork neck slices, onion, and jowl as layered pieces (onion included).
  2. For ribs skewers:
    • Pierce lengthwise
    • Do not add onions to the ribs skewers (explicitly stated).

4) Grill (coals + “low and low” control)

  1. Arrange on a spit/grill that’s already heated well.
  2. Use hot coals; target surface color described as:
    • red and white on top
  3. Technique cue:
    • To avoid charring, keep it “low and low” so it doesn’t burn too much.
    • The presenter mentions needing temperature control: raise it so the meat “bakes” (timing not exact).

5) Doneness observations / adjustments

  • The skewers were slightly overdone by the presenter’s admission, but “not bad.”
  • Ribs were a little overcooked, and the presenter notes:
    • “First rib… a bit boring.”
  • Doneness/visual cues and praise:
    • Skewers look “clean
    • Light toasting creates “amazing” flavor
    • Meat “crumble[s]
    • Pork neck described as juicy and tender

6) Optional technique comparison (aluminum foil)

  • Many vendors wrap skewers in aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  • Presenter’s approach: avoid foil, arguing lightly toasted meat tastes better (“real fire”).

Plating / serving cues

  • After grilling, the presenter highlights:
    • Crumbling texture
    • Juicy, tender pork neck
  • The video ends with “bon appetit” (no specific plating instructions beyond showing the cooked pieces).

Chef tips / mistakes to avoid (as stated)

  • Control fire level to avoid burning (“low and low”).
  • Don’t put onions on rib skewers: no onions on rib skewers.
  • Foil is optional; the presenter prefers direct grilling for better flavor.
  • Timing matters—this run had slightly overcooked ribs, suggesting close monitoring is necessary.
