Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs pork tenderloin or boneless pork chops cut into strips
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 tbs garlic minced
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp coriander ground
  • a pinch of cloves
  • black pepper fresh, to taste
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

  • Combine the ingredients for the marinade (everything except the BBQ sauce) in a large plastic resealable bag.
  • Add the pork strips and marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight. (Overnight is recommended)
  • Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and place on a wire rack that’s been sprayed with cooking spray. Place the wire rack over a baking sheet that’s been lined with aluminum foil.
  • Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
  • While the pork is cooking, pour the marinade into a pot and bring to a boil. Let the marinade boil for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the BBQ sauce. Let the sauce simmer over low heat while the pork is cooking.
  • Remove the pork from the oven, baste with the sauce then bake again for 7-8 minutes until the edges of the pork are crisp.
  • Baste the pork one more time with the sauce before serving, if desired.

Air Fryer:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Add the pork in a single layer and cook for 4 minutes. Remove the pork from the air fryer, baste generously with the sauce (follow the instructions above for the sauce) and cook another 4 minutes until the pork is crispy.
  • Baste with more sauce if desired and serve.

Slow Cooker:

  • Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Drain the marinade from the pork (reserving the marinade) and add the pork to the slow cooker.
  • Cook on low for 4-6 hours. (The longer you cook the spare ribs the softer the pork will be)
  • Pour the reserved marinade into a pot and bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes. Add the barbecue sauce and let simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Toss the pork with the sauce sand serve.
