Grilled Adobado Pork Steaks with Pineapple
These flavour-packed Grilled Adobado Pork Steaks with Pineapple are the brainchild of Mexican chef and author Karla Zazueta. “Fans of the famous Mexican dish al pastor will enjoy this super-easy version, which has a similar marinade but is known as adobada in the north of Mexico, where I’m from. While al pastor is traditionally cooked on a trompo (similar to a vertical spit), the beauty of this recipe is that it works perfectly on a barbecue or under a grill. Serve it on corn tortillas with coriander, onion and salsa, or simply eat it with a knife and fork. The caramelised pineapple is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.” Allow 1 hour extra time for marinating.
