Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 pounds Pork tenderloin or pork chops
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dry sherry, brown sugar, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, honey, sesame oil, and ground black pepper until the sugar is dissolved and the marinade is well combined.
Place the pork tenderloin or pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it is fully coated on all sides.
Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and marinate the pork for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. If roasting, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the pork from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Reserve the marinade if you wish to use it as a glaze (see optional step below).
Place the pork on the grill or in an oven-safe dish. Cook for 8-10 minutes per side on the grill, or for 20-25 minutes in the oven, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Optional step: Bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan and simmer for 3-5 minutes if you wish to use it as a glaze or sauce. Drizzle it over the cooked pork before serving.
Serve the barbecued pork with your favorite sides such as rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
