Marinade Creation: While your pork is marinating, it’s time to prepare the marinade. Crush the garlic cloves and finely mince the scallion. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed garlic, minced scallion, 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of sherry wine, and 1 tablespoon of honey. This flavorful concoction will be the secret sauce that elevates your pork to new heights of deliciousness.
Marinade Application: After the initial 30 minutes of marination for the pork strips, it’s time to introduce them to the marinade. Add the prepared marinade to the pork strips, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Allow the pork to bathe in this flavorful blend for an additional 30 minutes, turning the strips frequently to ensure even distribution of the marinade.
Drain and Discard: Once the marinating process is complete, drain the pork strips, discarding the excess marinade. This step ensures that the flavors are infused into the meat while preventing it from becoming overly saturated.
Glazing and Roasting: In a small bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of honey with a tablespoon of sugar. This mixture will be used to glaze the meat, imparting a luscious sweetness and creating a beautiful caramelized crust during roasting. Brush the honey-sugar glaze over the pork strips, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the glazed pork strips in the oven and roast until cooked to perfection.

Serving Suggestions:

Once your Soy-Sherry Marinated Barbecued Pork is cooked to succulent perfection, serve it hot alongside steamed rice and your favorite stir-fried vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with sliced scallions or sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
