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
- Combine in a bowl:
- ~4 bay leaves
- Vinegar (tenderizing)
- Tomato puree (color/flavor)
- Chili
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Add:
- Chopped garlic (“a few cloves”)
- 2 small onions
- Sprigs of fresh thyme
- Press/mix everything well.
2) Marinate the meat
- Cut pork neck into slices (not too thin) and add directly into the marinade.
- Prepare ribs:
- Remove membrane
- Cut into sections (one bone + meat)
- Massage thoroughly into the mixture
- 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
- 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).
- For ribs skewers:
- Pierce lengthwise
- Do not add onions to the ribs skewers (explicitly stated).
4) Grill (coals + “low and low” control)
- Arrange on a spit/grill that’s already heated well.
- Use hot coals; target surface color described as:
- “red and white on top”
- 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.
