Grilled Liempo Char Siu Style

Description:
This dish is very Asian being marinated in Char Siu sauce, but it's quite Pinoy too being grilled "liempo." I pan-grilled the pork using a stainless steel pan; I just cooked the pork without oil. Make sure the pan is really hot to properly sear the meat to get a nice crust! This is really good plus it's a breeze to make.

Ingredients:
1 kilo pork liempo

Char Siu Marinade:
100 g Lee Kum Kee Char Siu Sauce
3 Tablespoons mirin
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tablespoons calamansi juice
1 Tablespoon catsup
Salt and pepper

Directions:
Combine all the ingredients of the marinade, then add in the liempo. Marinade overnight.

Pan grill until done, which will take about 2 minutes per side.

I married the Grill King!

My ahia gave us this McGrill Griller so we can grill on top of the stove. This is a cool Filipino invention!

Brandon and I had a most wonderful night :) Both of us were busy in the kitchen... actually, Trixie too!. Brandon was in charge of the pork chops while I baked some corn muffins and vegies as side dishes. The result--- a really delish dinner! Brandon's pork chops were so flavorful, juicy and tender that Trixie effortlessly ate almost the whole pork chop! Best pork chops I've eaten, actually. (Way, way better that Italianni's!) I was also happy with the corn muffins--- finally, I was able to make corn muffins that I am really proud of! This is because I've had terrible, terrible corn muffins before. We are both indebted to "The New Best Recipe" cookbook which I now declare the best cookbook in the world!!! And I also declare my hubby Brandon as the Grill King!!!
