Chinese BBQ Pork (Cha Siu / )
- 2 pounds Pork Butt, Cut Into 2 Inch Diameter X 4 Inch Length Chunks
- 4 Tablespoons Honey
- 2- 1/2 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
- 2- 1/2 Tablespoons Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Red Wine
- 1/4 teaspoons Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons Five Spice Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 Tablespoons Honey, For Brushing
- 1.
- Place pork in a non-metal container.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine all ingredients for the marinade (everything except the last honey line) and mix well to make sure that everything is incorporated.
- Pour mixture over pork and coat all pieces.
- Cover with cling film and place in the refrigerator to marinate at least 5 hours, or overnight preferably, turning the meat halfway through the marinating process.
- 2.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour some hot water in a loaf pan or other baking dish and place it in the oven.
- Remove meat from the marinade (reserve the marinade for basting) and place the pieces of pork on a aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.
- Roast for 30 minutes.
- 3.
- At the end of the 30 minutes, baste pork with the reserved marinade.
- Roast for another 20-30 minutes or until your meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F. Brush pork with additional honey and return it to the oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow pork to rest for 10 minutes and then slice it against the grain (perpendicular to the meat fibers).
- Notes: Choosing pork with more fat and slicing against the grain makes a world of a difference.
- Youll end up with cha siu that is much more juicy and tender!
