My dad loves to cook too, and he came up with this recipe after developing a keen taste for Asian flavors like lemongrass, cilantro and fish sauce. You can pan grill/sear this without skewering them, but for best results, you’ll need to barbeque!
Ingredients
2 tbsp. finely chopped lemongrass (bottom, inner part only; outer layers removed)
2 tbsp. minced garlic
2 tbsp. minced shallot
1 Thai bird or local chili pepper (chopped)
2 cilantro roots
2 tbsp. Asian fish sauce
2 tbsp. honey or brown sugar
2 tbsp. shoyu
1 lb. pork tenderloin (cut into long ¼” thin strips)
15 BBQ skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
In a mortar, pound lemongrass, garlic, shallots, chili pepper and cilantro root to a thick paste (if you don’t have a mortar, you can also use a mini processor). Add fish sauce, honey and shoyu. Marinate meat in the sauce for at least 4 hours or up to 1 day.
If using wooden skewers, pre-soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to avoid burning them on the grill. Skewer the meat and grill on medium heat until thoroughly cooked and nicely charred.
