Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 cup brown sugar (or less or more, depends on your taste)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • generous sprinkling of black pepper
  • 1 cup water (divided)
  • pork boston butt, sliced in thin cutlets (don’t take the fat off)
  • 1 large onion (sliced in rings) (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Combine ingredients 1 to 5 plus 1/2 cup of water in a bowl. Stir everything together. Add the pork slices and onion rings to marinate. Cover the bowl to marinate for 2-3 hours, overnight or 2-3 days in the fridge.
  • When ready to cook, set aside the onions then put the marinated pork(with the marinade) in a non-stick pan with the 1/2 cup of water.
  • Cover the pan. Let this steam in medium heat until the liquid reduces. Stir occasionally so the whole thing doesn’t burn.
  • YUM YUM YUM. Just continue to steam with the cover on.
  • The liquid will start to reduce/bubble/caramelize/thicken.
  • Add the onions, stir gently to incorporate into the mix. Cook for another minute or two just to soften the onions.
