puerco adobada
I made my own puerco adobada last night and it was very good. I rarely
use recipes so not sure if this is authentic but it was as good or better than any I have found prepared. I used about 1/3 cup of Santa Cruz brand red chili powder (Mild) 2 1/2 Tablespoons of Goya brand Bitter Orange Adobo seasoning 1/2 cup Orange Juice to bind. Mixed spices together in a bowl and rubbed generously on 6 pork steaks. The steaks were about a 1/2" thick w/ bone in. (They were marked down to a ridiculous price.) After the dry rub was applied I patted in the orange juice with my hands to bind the rub to the meat. Covered the steaks in a bowl and let them rest for 1 hour. Fired up Weber kettle with Lump Mesquite on one side (very hot) Grilled steaks 2-3 at a time for 1-2 minutes a side to sear and blacken the rub. Stacked the steaks on cool side of the grill and then snuffed the grill with all vents closed for 10-12 minutes. Removed from grill and wrapped in foil to rest again 15 minutes. Steaks were beautifully blackened and plump and juicy inside. I used the santa cruz chili for a milder burn for our guests. Actually picked up the smoke flavor quite well and I enjoyed it over some of the hotter chili I have used. Served with home made pico de gallo, sour creme tortillas and refried beans. |
