    2 stalks green onion, cut into long pieces    

    ½ tbsp. salt

****double amount of marinade for larger amount of meat****

 

 

 

Cut pork into 2-inch wide long strips and place in a large bowl. Mix marinade ingredients together well and pour over the pork. Cover and marinate for 1-2 hours.

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange pork on a rack over a large roasting pan. Roast for 25 minutes, basting often with marinade.  During the last 10 minutes of cooking, coat pork strips with honey and finish cooking when meat is golden brown and juices run clear when pieced with a skewer. Let stand for 5 minutes before carving.

 

Slice pork into serving pieces of desired thickness.
