Vietnamese Grilled Pork Shoulder

The Recipe

• 4 lbs pork shoulder, cut into thin steaks (1/4-1/2")
• 1 stalk lemongrass
• 2 shallots
• 6 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp oil
• 6 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 6 tbsp light brown sugar
• ground pepper to taste

Blend everything.

Marinate overnight.

Grill on high heat until charred (and pork is 145+ degrees).

Rest the pork for 10 minutes.

The Bullshit

This is one of my favorite grilling recipes. For a long time I thought pork shoulder was only for pulled pork, but shit was I wrong.

Cutting the shoulder into thin steaks and grilling it with this marinade gives you so much flavor without the risk of a tough dry piece of meat. Easy mode.
