A delicious and flavorful Chinese-style pork recipe with a sweet and savory glaze.
Trim any excess fat from the pork and cut it into pieces about 3/4 inch thick.
Cutting the pork into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, five-spice powder, minced garlic, and dry sherry. Mix well to create the marinade.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all flavors are well blended.
Place the pork pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
Preheat the grill to medium heat or set the oven to broil. If using the oven, line a baking tray with foil.
Preheating ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Cook the pork on the grill for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, or broil in the oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Baste the pork with leftover marinade during the last 10 minutes for extra flavor.
Let the cooked pork rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender and flavorful.
