BARBECUED PORK STRIPS RECIPE

Barbecued Pork Strips are definately a different way of cooking them. I have never ever cooked anything hanging from the top shelf of the oven but these Barbecued Pork Strips are absolutely great tasting and are very unique. I thought my mother was going a bit crazy the first time I saw her cooking the Barbecued Pork Strips but boy did I really enjoy them.

Barbecued Pork Strips Ingredients

2 lb boneless pork butt

MARINADE:
2 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs dry sherry
1 Tbs minced garlic
1 Tbs hoisin sauce
1 Tbs red bean curd
2 Tbs light soy sauce
1 tsp five spice powder
1 Tbs brown bean sauce

BASTING LIQUID:
3 Tbs honey
3 Tbs boiling water

Barbecued Pork Strips Method

The first thing to do is to get the pork strips ready so cut the piece of pork butt in half and then cut the two halves into 3/4 inch strips. In a glass bottle put all the marinade ingredients and put the lid on and shake it really hard till the ingredients are combined really well. Put the pork strips into a glass bowl and cover them with the marinade and leave them for 3 hours in the refrigerator. Remove the pork strips from the marinade and baste the strips with the honey basting mixture.

Use curved skewers that are available in Chinese cookware shops to hang the meat from the top shelf of the oven over a large pan filled with water to a depth of 1/4 inch. Roast the Barbecued Pork Strips at 350 degrees for 45 minutes while basting occasionally with the honey basting liquid. Increase the heat to 425 degrees and roast for 20 minutes to finish the pork strips. When the Barbecued Pork Strips are cool enough to handle cut them into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange the pork slices on a platter with little cocktail forks for your visitors to pick up their appetizer with.

Enjoy your freshly made Barbecued Pork Strips!
