Candy Pork Recipes

Steps:

• For the apple cider glaze: Combine the brown sugar, vinegar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and reserve.
• For the Greek seasoning blend and pork: Oil a grill pan and place over medium heat.
• Put the oregano, garlic powder, thyme, dill, beef bouillon powder, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Drizzle some oil over the pork and sprinkle the seasoning blend on all sides of the meat. Add the pork steaks to the grill pan and grill until cooked to medium, 7 to 10 minutes. Brush the apple cider glaze over the pork in the last couple minutes of cooking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Lay a large sheet of aluminum foil on a flat work surface. Lay 1/2 the green parts of the green onions down in the center of the foil. Place pork belly, fattiest-side down, on top of the green onions and top pork belly with remaining 1/2 the green parts of the green onions; sprinkle with salt. Fold aluminum foil tightly around pork and green onions. Wrap pork belly again in another sheet of aluminum foil. Place wrapped pork, seam-side up, in a loaf pan.
• Cook pork belly in preheated oven for 5 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven heat and let cool in the oven for 2 hours. Remove from oven and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
• Remove pork from foil and discard green onions. Cut pork into 8 pieces.
• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp all over, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Whisk brown sugar, rice vinegar, fish sauce, ginger juice, and soy sauce together in a bowl.
• Remove most of the fat from the skillet and discard. Add 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar glaze and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until pork is glazed on all sides and pieces are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Make a well in the center of the skillet and add chopped white parts of the green onion, garlic, and peppers. Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour water and remaining brown sugar glaze into skillet; simmer until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.
