Vietnamese Grilled Pork

pounds pork pork

lemongrass,

shallots, roughly chopped

fish sauce

lime juice (juice from 1 lime)

Cut the pork shoulder into 2-3 inch pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside in a large mixing bowl or Ziploc bag.

In a blender or food processor, add the remaining ingredients (lemongrass, shallots, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and vegetable oil). Mix for 1 minute until blended and smooth.

Pour the marinade over the pork and toss well to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic cling wrap (or seal the ziploc bag). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for the best results).

Marinate the pork:

Preheat grill over medium high to 450F, about 6-8 minutes. Place the marinated pork spaced evenly apart on the grill and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side until nicely charred. The internal temperature for the pork should reach 150F as read on a meat thermometer.

Let the pork rest at room temperature for 5 minutes and serve.

To grill the pork:

You can also bake the pork in a 425F preheated oven for 16-18 minutes until golden brown, and the internal temperature for the pork reaches 150 F as read a meat thermometer. Optionally, turn the broiler on HI and broil for another 2-3 minutes until nicely charred on the edges. Keep a close eye on it though as things can burn quickly in the broiler.

Let the pork rest at room temperature for 5 minutes, then serve.

To bake the pork:
