Buche meat, also known as pork stomach, is a popular ingredient in many traditional dishes worldwide, especially in Mexican and Filipino cuisine. It has a unique texture—chewy yet tender when cooked properly—and absorbs marinades exceptionally well, making it perfect for grilling. This barbecue-style grilled buche meat recipe is an excellent way to enjoy this offal cut with bold flavors and a smoky charred finish.
The dish begins with thorough cleaning of the buche meat using vinegar, salt, and lemon juice to remove any strong odors. This step is crucial for achieving a clean and mild taste. The meat is then marinated in a flavorful blend of garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, lime juice, honey, mustard, and aromatic spices like smoked paprika, cayenne, and oregano. This marinade not only enhances the taste but also helps tenderize the meat, making it juicy and delicious when grilled.

Once marinated, the buche-meat is grilled over medium-high heat, allowing it to develop a beautifully caramelized crust while remaining tender inside. Occasional basting with barbecue sauce adds a sweet and smoky touch, creating a perfectly balanced dish. The final product is a crispy, slightly charred, and flavorful barbecue dish that pairs well with rice, tortillas, or a fresh salad.
This recipe offers a delightful combination of smoky, savory, and slightly tangy flavors with a hint of spice. It is a great way to explore the unique taste of buche-meat while enjoying a satisfying grilled dish.
