Instructions
Marinate the pork
- Slice the pork into even sections and poke each section of pork using a fork
- Prepare the marinade by combining all the ingredients and whisking them together
- Pour all but 1/2 cup of the marinade over the pork
- Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes but longer (up to 4 hours) is preferred
Make the glaze
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the ketchup, honey and reserved 1/2 cup of marinade
- Cook the glaze on medium heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1 cup (about 4-6 minutes)
Grill the pork
- place oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on top of it.
- Remove pork from marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off and place on baking rack
- Pour 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the pan and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil
- Cook pork for 20 minutes, remove foil and continue to cook the pork until the edges begin to brown, about 35-45 minutes depending on how thick your slices are
- Turn on broiler and broil until pork begins to caramelize (about 7-9 minutes)
- Remove the pan from oven and brush with glaze and place it back under the broiler for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the pork from the oven, flip the pork over, and broil the other side for 7-9 minutes
- Add the glaze to that side of the pork and broil again for 3-5 minutes.
- Cool for 10 minutes and slice into thin strips.
