Notes

Notes: This pork side meat came pre-sliced thick like this. For seasoning I had a coarse garlic seasoning. I want to point out that I used a coarse garlic seasoning that was store bought. The ingredients may have some coloring in there which give the pork a reddish color in the end. Use the spices listed and the flavor will still be the same, it just may look slightly different. Sorry for the confusion.
