How to Make Ready to Grill Tasty Marinated Pork Meat in 45 minutes



My Favorite Philippine Style Pork Marinade Recipe


I am always fascinated about grilled pork marinades, but I have to tell you, my grandfather's recipe was the best I have ever tasted! It's so juicy and tender I could eat 2 cups of rice with it when it's served.

It's unique flavors infused brilliantly making the most delicious and tastiest grilled pork ever. It makes you want to eat it without any dipping sauce. 

Ingredients for the Filipino Style Pork Marinade

These ingredients are good for 2 kg pork meat.


1 cup crushed garlic
1/2 cup minced onion
1 tbsp pepper
1/2 tbsp chilli powder
1 tbsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 kg pork meat belly
5 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup soy sauce non brewed
1/2 cup vinegar
2 tbsp Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp butter grated
 

Preparing the Filipino Style Pork Maridade

Pre-tenderizing the Meat and Mixing the Ingredients

(15 minutes prepare time + 30 minutes minimum marinate time)


1. Put the pork in a large bowl or container, add the 5 tbsp lemon juice.
2. Stab the meat repeatedly with a fork or use any meat tenderizer tool (preferably the Jaccard tenderizer) to break the muscle fibers and to allow the marinade mix to seep in.
3. In a separate container, macerate the 1 cup garlic with the 2 tbsp salt, 1/2 tbsp chilli powder, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp pepper and 1/2 cup onion. Make sure the garlic and onions are crushed with the other ingredients and then add it in the pork meat when the juices starts to come out.
4. Add the 1 cup soy sauce and 1/2 cup vinegar.
5. Add 2 tbsp Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
6. Add 1 tbsp grated butter
7. Set aside for 30 minutes or longer for better taste results.

More About the Filipino Style Marinade Recipe 

 

This is a great Philippine style marinade that blends well on all cuts of pork, particularly pork belly meat. It's almost the same as the Teryaki marinade, however with more ingredients are added to the mix which are very familiar to the Filipino cuisine. You can, if you like, heat this up with some extra chili sauce or perhaps some crushed chili pepper(siling labuyo).
