Preparation

30 mins

Low

Preheat oven to 374 ºF. In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Add pork shoulder steaks and marinate for 20 minutes. For assembling the al pastor spit: On a baking sheet, place 2 large chunks of pineapple. Place a layer of 2 pork shoulder steaks on top. Top with a layer of 2 bacon strips. Repeat the layers until all of the pork shoulder steaks and bacon strips are used up. Insert a thick wooden stick in the middle of the piled-up marinated pork shoulder steaks to hold the al pastor spit still. Set aside. Cut a large-sized pineapple cube and insert it on top of the wooden stick. Cut remaining pineapple into thin slices. Set aside. On a baking sheet, bake al pastor spit covered with aluminum foil for 40 minutes. Remove from oven. Bake uncovered. Turn al pastor spit constantly to cook evenly until golden brown. Once cooked through, remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes. Serve al pastor spit with corn tortillas, salsa, and pineapple slices on the side.
