I’ve been wanting to make my own Chinese BBQ Pork (Primal way) so for sure I can’t depend on store bought sauce as they usually contain loads of sugar, corn syrup, msg, wheat and all other junks.

After researching various different recipes online, I finally came up with my own version and I had to say, this turned out pretty good!

Primal Chinese BBQ Pork (Char Siew)
5-6 garlic cloves
2 star anise
1 Tbsp five spice powder
1-5 Tbsp raw honey
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika powder
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce (wheat free)
3 lbs pork butt

Directions:
1. Peel and mash the garlic using mortal/pestle or your favorite blender. Mix all the seasonings together.

2. Place the pork butt in a gallon size zip lock bag, and rub the marinate evenly. Pierce the meat with fork so it will absorb more of the marinate. Marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best taste.

3. Pierce the rotisserie skewer into the pork butt. Tied the loose ends so the meat won’t flying around while rotating in the oven.
(Note: You can also use BBQ Grill. I don’t have one 🙂 )

4. Place the skewered pork butt in the oven. Bake in 325°F for 1 1/2 hour.

5. Remove the pork butt from the oven after it cooled down. Remove the skewer and cut off the strings.

6. Slice.

Enjoy! Not overly sweet, just perfect and it still has that distinct taste of Chinese BBQ Pork, minus the junk ingredients.
