Chef Tom fires up the Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill for Chinese Barbecue Pork Char Siu. Smoky, sweet, salty & savory, this one checks all the boxes!
Ingredients
- 5 lb pork butt (or belly)
Plowboys BBQ Yardbird Rub
1 1/2 cups Kim’s Asian BBQ Sauce
1 cup Reida Farm Red Pepper Honey, DIVIDED
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
- 1/2 cup Fermented Red Bean Curd (tofu cubes & sauce)
- 2 tsp Chinese five spice
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1/4 cup garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup ginger, minced
For the marinade/glaze:
Directions
- Combine all marinade ingredients in the Vitamix Blender. Add only 3/4 cup of the Reida Farm Red Pepper Honey. Save the remaining 1/4 cup for later. Blend until smooth.
- Reserve one cup of the marinade. Store in the refrigerator. Pour the remaining marinade into an 8 quart Briner Bucket.
- Cut the pork into 3” thick strips and place in the Briner Bucket with the marinade. Let soak overnight.
- Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 350ºF, set up for indirect grilling.
- Remove the pork from the marinade. Wipe off excess marinade from the surface of the pork.
- Season the pork on all sides with Plowboys BBQ Yardbird Rub.
- Roast the pork on the second shelf of the grill for one hour.
- After one hour, mix your one cup of reserved marinade with the remaining 1/4cup of Reida Farm Red Pepper Honey. Whisk well to combine. Using a silicon brush, baste the pork with the glaze.
- Repeat the glazing every 30 minutes until the pork has reached an internal temperature of 195ºF (total cook time: about 2-2.5 hours).
- Remove from the grill. Rest the Char Siu 15 minutes before slicing to serve.
