DIRECTIONS
- Cut the pork into pieces, you can leave it in steak sizes piece, or cut it into thin strips, depending on how much you want the marinade to cover.
- Add sugar, minced garlic, minced shallot, chopped onion, and minced lemongrass to mini chop and blend into a fine texture.
- Add the pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oil and continue to blend.
- Cover the pork with the marinade. I suggest letting it marinate for at least a few hours so it can really soak in the flavors.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked through. You want a good char on this, like they do at the Vietnamese restaurants.
- Remove, allow to sit for a few minutes, and then enjoy!
