If you don’t have culinary threads, you can take silk threads in several folds, for example six. Cotton ones will also work, especially if they are thick. It is recommended to moisten them with vegetable oil to prevent fire, but this is not necessary - they will already be completely soaked in the marinade with oil. As well as hands, a table and a baking dish.
Ingredients:
- pork - 1.5 kg;
- chili pepper - 1 pc.;
- soy sauce - 200 ml;
- vegetable oil - 50 ml;
- honey - 2 tbsp. l.;
- pepper mixture - a pinch;
- paprika - a pinch;
- sesame - 1 tbsp. l.
Step-by-step recipe for oven-baked pork
We wash the meat in advance, since it will take at least 25 minutes to dry - you should not marinate raw meat. We make deep cuts (not slits) along the entire length so that the marinade saturates the middle of the meat - then it will turn into a nice large block from which beautiful slices will be cut.
Mix the marinade.In a deep bowl, combine soy sauce, oil, honey, spices and chili pepper. The seeds from the chili must be removed, and the pepper must be finely chopped.
We water, dip, turn over and repeat - every millimeter should be soaked. Place in the refrigerator for a day. You can take it out a couple of times and repeat the procedure for better impregnation.
We move our workpiece into a suitable sized form in which we will bake.
Now we bandage it, trying to pull it tighter. Aesthetics will not affect the taste, there is no need to worry about evenness and accuracy.
It is worth noting that the shape of the meat has changed - the block has become narrower and longer. Our glass form allows you to place it diagonally; it should not rest against the walls, otherwise it will not bake from the sides.
Bake for 40 minutes on each side at 200°C. We preheat the oven in advance, do not put the meat in cold, this will greatly reduce the juiciness. After an hour and twenty minutes, take it out.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and put in the oven to smoke. Twenty minutes is enough. The temperature can be reduced to 150 °C.
This is what the finished dish looks like. The screed spots are not visible at all. But we are absolutely guaranteed that our pork turned out to be soaked in a spicy marinade and therefore juicy in the middle of our block - all thanks to the cuts. Sesame seeds will not change their color even when pouring sauce from the bottom, and such a spectacular contrast will remain.
By the way, this sauce must be poured over a side dish, no matter what it is: potatoes, rice (or other cereals) or vegetables - it goes with everything.
The aroma is worth a special mention. Baked honey in combination with soy sauce and spices will give off an intoxicating spirit, like mead.
This dish involves serving and serving. Decorate with fresh herbs or, conversely, supplement with pickles.Don't forget to put down the cutlery, because the strings that gave the raw meat its amazing shape are still there. Guests may be surprised when they are unable to cut a slice. However, all the threads can now be easily removed - the shape will not change.
Have a nice feast and bon appetit!
