A substantial appetizer with an oriental flare.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs pork steak or pork filets, cut 1/2" thick
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbs honey
3 Tbs dry sherry
several grinds of black pepper
1/2 tsp powdered ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 Tbs toasted sesame seed
chicken broth cube and hot water

Method

Step 1

Trim all fat from pork. Place in shallow glass dish. Combine all ingredients except broth. Pour over pork and marinate for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature, turning often. Drain off liquid, saving the seed to pat on meat before roasting..

Step 2

Roast uncovered at 350F for about 45 minutes, turning frequently and basting with chicken broth. Do not use marinade for basting; its too salty.

Step 3

When pork is tender, remove from oven and cut into small diagonal slices to be speared on cocktail picks and served with drinks.

Step 4

The pork is best served at room temperature; don't chill it unless you must prepare it the day before.. If so, remove from refrigerator and allow to warm to room temperature.
