Recipe for Ibérico Pork Belly Steak Bites

For the Pork Belly Bites:

  • Ibérico pork belly secreto
  • Salt and pepper to season 

For the Homemade Korean x Kansas City BBQ Sauce:

  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 Anjou pear, shaved
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot honey (you can adjust the amount to your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • Water (to achieve desired consistency)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • A dash of Calabrian chili oil (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Start by preparing the Ibérico pork belly secreto. You can cut it into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and pepper. Set them aside while you make the sauce.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, shaved Anjou pear, molasses, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, smoked paprika, honey, hot honey, sesame oil, dark brown sugar, salt, and pepper. This will be the base of your sauce.
  3. In a saucepan over low heat, sauté the shallot and garlic until they become soft and aromatic.
  4. Add the sauce you made earlier, the garlic powder, onion powder, and a dash of Calabrian chili oil for some heat. Adjust the chili oil to your desired level of spiciness, or omit it if you prefer a milder flavor. Add the mirin and continue cooking for a couple of minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  5. Gradually add water to the saucepan, stirring constantly, until you reach your desired sauce consistency. You can add more or less water based on your preference.
  6. Finally, add the butter to the sauce and continue stirring until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
  7. Grill or pan-fry the seasoned Ibérico pork belly secreto bites until they are cooked to your preferred level of doneness, about 4-5min each side. You can brush them with some of the sauce for extra flavor.
  8. Serve the grilled pork belly bites with your homemade Korean x Kansas City BBQ sauce on the side for dipping or drizzle the sauce over the pork belly bites before serving.
  9. Enjoy your delicious Ibérico pork belly secreto bites with this flavorful homemade BBQ sauce!
