Step 1

Blend the onion, red apple, and water in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour the blended ingredients into a medium-sized bowl. Add the remaining marinade sauce to this and mix well.

Step 2

Lightly slice the pork in a diamond-like pattern for the marinade sauce to be absorbed and also to tenderize the meat. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

Place the meat in the glass container and pour the marinade mixture over it. Mix them well together – top to bottom and also between the meat. Cover the container with its lid and marinate it for at least 4 hours in your fridge, but preferably longer (e.g. overnight) to deepen the flavor.

Step 4

Take the meat out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking, so it has time to come to room temperature for even cooking.

Step 5

Preheat a skillet or grill on medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add some cooking oil. Place the meat and cook until both sides are fully cooked. (Do not add leftover marinade from the container.) You may reduce the heat as needed. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces with a pair of scissors as the meat cooks.

Step 6

Serve the barbecued pork with various Korean BBQ side dishes. (Refer to the above list for more ideas.)
