How To Make Char Siu-Style Pork Tenderloin At Home
Anyone familiar with Cantonese cuisine knows and loves the honey-lacquered roasted pork that is char siu. For those of us who don't have vertical ovens to roast our own char siu, ChefSteps has the answer via sous-vide. They paired up with chef Gregory Gourdet to recreate the Chinatown favorite at home by cooking pork tenderloin sous vide with a marinade then finishing it on the grill to get a nice, smoky char. Check out the full recipe below.

Chef's Tip: Gourdet likes to add the reserved marinade to a pan and heat it on the grill as the pork sears. Cooking the sauce in this way will mellow things out by removing some of the sharp, raw-garlic flavor.
