Step-by-Step Instructions for Char Siu Pork
In a mixing bowl, whisk together minced garlic, brown sugar, shoyu, hoisin sauce, sherry, red food coloring (if using), sesame oil, and Chinese five spice.
Trim the pork butt of excess fat and slice it into long strips, about 2 inches wide.
Place the pork strips into a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring a thorough coat.
Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack over the baking sheet.
Carefully transfer the marinated pork strips onto the wire rack.
Pour about half an inch of water into the baking sheet to create steam during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, basting with the marinade every 15-20 minutes.
Once the pork is nearly finished, switch the oven to broil on low for an additional 5 minutes.
After broiling, let the pork rest for about 10 minutes, then slice thinly and serve.
