1
Examine the pork belly and identify areas where the edges are thicker or weren't trimmed well.
2
Trim off the thicker portions to make the belly look neater overall (not required, but improves presentation).
3
Save the thin trimmed pieces — they resemble fajita strips. Since the whole pork belly will take 3-4 hours to cook, these thin strips make a great snack to cook and eat while waiting.
4
Clean up the pork belly further, removing some excess fat from the top so the rub can better flavor the meat.
5
Spread a bit of Parkay margarine over the surface of the meat — this adds flavor and helps the seasoning stick to the fat and meat.
6
Sprinkle on salt and pepper, then add a garlic-flavored seasoning and chili powder for extra flavor.
7
Add some coarser 16-mesh black pepper on top for extra texture and a flavorful bite.
8
Flip the meat over and repeat: spread on a bit more Parkay, then season evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic, Texas style.
9
Finish with chili powder and coarse black pepper, distributing everything evenly over the meat — ready for cooking.
