The Perfect Grilled Lemongrass Pork

Hi guys!

Today I’m going to share one of my favorite ways to eat pork, Grilled Lemongrass Pork Loin Chop!

It is succulent, tender, juicy with mouth watering lemongrass marinade… Ah, nothing like Lemongrass Pork!!

Pork is used in many Asian countries, because the Asian flavor goes really well with the pork!

I love making this Lemongrass Pork when we are having a BBQ party, it’s really fun recipe to try!

Also if you have leftover, make Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwich)! Perfect!

In a glass jar, combine chopped lemongrass, shallot, garlic, Thai chili🌶, fish sauce, sugar, vegetable oil and black pepper and close the lid to shake it. 

Pour half of the marinade on a baking dish and place pork loin and pour rest of the marinade, move around the coat it evenly.

Cover with a plastic wrap and marinate for over night.

You can do this in a plastic bag as well.

Heat a grill over medium heat (You can just cook it on a stove top or indoor grill too, follow the same directions).

Scrap off the marinate from the pork and place the pork on the grill.

Cook the pork until 145 degrees inside and nicely chard outside, about 10 to 12 minutes each side.

I highly recommend to use meat thermometer.

I used iGrill and regular meat thermometer, either one works perfect!

I really do loved using iGrill though, because it connects to my phone with bluetooth so I don’t really have to baby sit my pork, I can just check on my phone! lol Also it let me know as an alarm when it’s done!

When it’s done cooking on the grill, remove from the heat and let it rest for 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, we are going to cook the marinate. Pour all the marinate in a sauce pan with 2 tablespoons of water. Bring it to boil over high heat and let it hard boil for 1 minute. Skim all the scums as you go.

Make sure you pour the juices from the pork too!

Slice the pork chop and pour the sauce right on top.

If you like to, garnish with chopped cilantro and green onion.

Enjoy with a warm bowl of rice!
