Yield Serves 6 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 lemongrass stalk, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 Thai chile, stemmed and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 bone-in center cut pork chops, each about 12 ounces and 1 inch thick

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, combine the sugar, fish sauce, lemongrass, garlic, shallot, chile, and black pepper and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Arrange the pork chops in a rimmed dish in a single layer. Pour the marinade over, cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. (The pork can also be refrigerated overnight. Bring meat to room temperature before grilling).
  • 2. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill (you should be able to hold your hand 1 to 2 inches above the grate for only 2 to 3 seconds). When the coals are ready, push two-thirds of the coals to one-half of the grill, creating a hot zone; spread the remaining one-third on the opposite side of the grill to create a cooler zone.
  • 3. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chops on the hottest part of the grill. Let cook for 1 minute, then flip and cook for 1 minute on the second side.
  • 4. Move the chops to the cooler side of the grill and cook, turning once, for about 10 minutes total, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop registers 140°F, raking over coals from the hotter side of the grill if necessary to maintain an even temperature. Spritz any flare-ups with a spray bottle filled with water.
  • 5. Transfer the chops to a large plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut the meat from the bone and slice the meat across the grain on the diagonal. Transfer the slices and bones to a serving platter and serve.

GRILLED LEMONGRASS PORK BáNH Mì RECIPE BY TASTY



Grilled Lemongrass Pork Bánh Mì Recipe by Tasty image

This recipe makes it easy to recreate a classic Vietnamese bánh mì at home. Pork butt is a cut of meat that usually requires a longer cooking time in order to make it tender, but by slicing it thinly, you cut the cooking time down to just a few minutes on a hot grill pan.

Time 6h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large carrots, peeled and cut into large matchsticks
12 oz daikon root, peeled and cut into large matchsticks
3 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
4 stalks lemongrass
1 small white onion
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fish sauce
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 ½ teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
2 lb pork butt, trimmed of excess fat, cut into 1/2 in (1 1/4 cm) thick slices
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 large French rolls, lightly toasted
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup pâté
cucumber, sliced
white onion, thinly sliced
jalapeño, sliced
fresh cilantro leaf, and tender stems

Steps:

  • Make the pickled vegetables: Set a large colander in a large bowl. Add the carrots and daikon to the colander. Toss with the salt, then add just enough water to cover the vegetables, about 6 cups (1.4 L). Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Lift the colander out of the soaking liquid, then rinse the vegetables well. Shake the colander a few times to allow any excess water to drain away. Let the vegetables sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to dry out a bit.
  • Add the sugar and vinegar to the bowl with the vegetables. Season to taste with more salt, if needed. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Make the lemongrass pork: Trim the bottoms and green tops from the lemongrass stalks. Slice the light parts in half lengthwise, then remove any tough outer layers. Mince and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Finely chop the onion and add to the bowl with the lemongrass.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, wine, and pepper.
  • Add the sliced pork butt to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and lemongrass and cook until the onion is tender and beginning to brown, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, remove the pork from the marinade, letting any excess liquid to drip off, then grill the pork until lightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemongrass and onion mixture and stir to combine.
  • To assemble, slice the toasted French rolls in half lengthwise almost all the way through, leaving a long end intact. Slather the bottom of the rolls with a generous amount of mayonnaise, then spread on a layer of pâté. Top with the pork mixture, cucumber, sliced onion, jalapeño, the pickled vegetables, and cilantro.
  • Close the sandwiches and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Corinne Trang

Categories     main-dish

Time 51m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 stalks lemongrass, outer leaves and tops removed, root ends trimmed, and stalks finely grated
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
16 bamboo skewers, soaked for 20 minutes and drained
Rice vermicelli, cooked, for serving
1/2 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts
Nuoc cham, as needed, recipe follows
5 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup fish sauce
1/2 cup lime or lemon juice
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 or more bird's eye or Thai chiles, seeded and minced
1 shallot, peeled, thinly sliced, and rinsed (optional)

Steps:

  • Stir together the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and oil until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the lemongrass, shallot, garlic and pork and mix to coat the meat evenly. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes or refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Slide 2 to 4 slices of pork onto each skewer so the meat is flat with the skewer going through the slices several times. Grill over a barbecue (make sure that the flames have subsided and the coals are red with white ashes). Alternatively, heat a well-oiled grill pan or non-stick skillet over high heat and, working in batches, cook the skewers until the edges crisp, about 1 minute per side. Remove the skewers from the grilled pork.
  • Divide the grilled pork among the bowls of rice vermicelli. Sprinkle peanuts and drizzle nuoc cham over each serving. Serve immediately.
  • Whisk together the sugar, water, fish sauce, and lime juice in a bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the garlic, chile, and shallot, and let stand for 30 minutes before serving.

GRILLED PORK LOIN WITH LEMONGRASS



Grilled Pork Loin with Lemongrass image

The beauty of butterflying and rolling up a pork loin is that the marinade covers more of it, spicing up every bite. Next, refrigerate and wait while the riot of bold flavors-lemongrass, shallots, soy and fish sauces, brown sugar-does its thing. A leisurely 40 minutes on the grill renders the pork tender. Then your job is a cinch: Just tuck it into lettuce wraps and top with fresh herbs and a pickled carrot-daikon slaw.

Time 10h15m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
4 stalks lemongrass, thinly sliced
1 medium shallot, chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional)
2 tablespoons Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 piece pork loin (about 2 3/4 pounds), fat cap attached
Kosher salt
Carrot-and-Daikon Pickle, for serving
Thai or Vietnamese chili sauce, such as Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce, for serving
Red- or green-leaf lettuce and fresh herbs, such as basil and cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse garlic to chop, then add lemongrass and pulse until finely chopped. Add shallot and pulse to create a fine paste. Pulse in oil, soy and fish sauces, and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Butterfly pork loin: Place pork on a cutting board vertically (with short sides at top and bottom). Using a large, sharp knife, and starting at top, cut lengthwise down the center, almost all the way through but leaving a hinge of about 1/2 inch. Unfold, as if opening a book.
  • With knife blade parallel to cutting board, slice through left side of loin, opening meat as you go, and again leaving a hinge. Repeat with right side. If needed, pound loin to an even thickness with a meat mallet. Season with salt, then rub half of lemongrass paste all over meat. Re-form into original shape, tie with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before grilling.
  • Prepare grill for direct- and indirect-heat cooking. Remove pork from plastic; place over indirect heat, cover, and cook, maintaining a temperature of about 400°F, about 20 minutes. Brush with remaining lemongrass paste and continue cooking, covered, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 135°F, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to direct heat and cook, uncovered, turning frequently, until charred in places and thermometer registers 138 ̊F, about 5 minutes more. Let pork stand about 10 minutes, then thinly slice and serve with pickles, chili sauce, lettuce, and herbs.
