Barbecued Roast Pork Tenderloin (Char Shui)
This is a very easy yet tasty way to prepare pork tenderloin, you can serve this hot or cold and any leftovers are great chopped up in a sandwich the next day with a little BBQ sauce. I served ours over vegetable fried rice for very flavoursome dinner. It is also a very low carb recipe so if you served it with just veg instead of rice it is about 6g carbohydrates per serving.

Ingredients

1kg Pork fillet

Marinade

2 Cloves garlic, minced
3 Slices ginger, 6 mm thick
1 Teaspoon sugar
Good pinch pepper
1 Teaspoon sesame oil
1 Tablespoon black bean sauce

2 Teaspoons light soy sauce

Method

1. Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a dish, add the pork and marinate for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.

2. Heat the oven to 180c.

3. Place the pork on a rack in the middle of the oven.

4. Place a pan with 6mm of water on the bottom rack in the oven and roast for 30 minutes.

5. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.

6. For the glaze, heat oil in saucepan over moderate heat, stir in golden syrup and soy sauce.

Spoon glaze over meat just before serving.

Barbecued Chicken Breasts
This is a super quick, simple and easy recipe to throw together with a fantastic end result that the whole family will love. I will look forward to trying this on the BBQ in summer, but for now had to settle for cooking it inside, as it is only -4 degrees a little too chilly for cooking outside I think. I served mine over mash with a mix of fresh vegetables and it was delicious. The sauce is a mix of sweet and tangy with a hint of spice from the horseradish which is yummo.
