Pork Barbecue Filipino Style

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds of pork
• 2 tbsp chopped garlic
• 3 tbsp chopped onion
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (or more if you want it sweeter)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 3 tbsp hot sauce (or to taste)
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 2/3 of a can of Sprite or 7-up
• 2 tbsp of cooking oil
• 2 tbsp of cornstarch

Procedure:

• Mix all the ingredients together.
• Put it in a container and marinate it for at least 24 hours.
• On the next day, simmer the pork together with the marinade for 20 minutes on low heat.  Don’t let it boil.
• Remove the pork from the marinade and add 2 tbsp of cornstarch.  Mix and let simmer for 5 minutes.  This will be your basting sauce.
• Turn the heat off and put back the pork back into the basting sauce.
• Build a fire in the grill.  Make sure you clean it before putting the pork.
• Put the pork and flip it over every 5 minutes while continuously basting it.
• Grill it until its tender or according to your preference.  We like it well done.
