SWEET AND SALTY GRILLED PORK WITH CITRUS AND HERBS
Typically prepared as a long-cooked stew or braise, pork shoulder is remarkably (and perhaps surprisingly) fantastic when treated like a steak. This means cooked hot and fast so it's charred on the outside and medium-rare on the inside. While a grill is ideal here, it can also be prepared on the stovetop in a very hot cast-iron skillet. The garlicky, salty, sweet marinade also doubles as a dressing to be poured over crunchy leaves of lettuce, fresh herbs and, if you're looking for something more substantial, some sort of rice noodle or plain cooked rice.

Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, slice pork shoulder crosswise into 1-inch-thick steaks. (Depending on the shape and cut of your shoulder, some pieces may not stay together in a steak shape; this is O.K.) Season pork with salt and pepper and place in a shallow baking dish (a 9-by-13 works best) or resealable plastic bag.
- Combine fish sauce, light brown sugar, sambal (if using), garlic and 1/2 cup lime juice in a medium bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour half of the mixture over the pork and let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes while you prepare the grill, using tongs to turn pork once or twice to make sure all of it is getting enough attention from the marinade. (There's no need to refrigerate, unless you are working ahead, in which case you should refrigerate until ready to grill.)
- If you're using a charcoal grill, build the fire so it's screaming hot. This pork is to be cooked hot and fast, so the hotter the better. If you're using a gas grill, heat it on high. Bring a clean baking dish out to the grill for the pork to rest in after cooking.
- Once the grill is sufficiently hot, grill the pork until deeply browned and lightly charred on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side (this will happen faster on a charcoal grill), moving the pork around as needed to prevent excessive flare-ups, which, depending on how fatty your pork is, will happen with varying severity. Grill the lime and orange, if using, cut-side down, until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the pork and lime from the grill and let rest a minute or two in that same large baking dish to catch the juices. Drizzle the remaining lime dressing over the sliced pork and let it rest for a few minutes so the juices mix with the dressing.
- Slice the pork about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange rice noodles or rice, if using, on a large platter and top with lettuce, along with some of the mint, cilantro and shallots. Top with sliced pork and remaining herbs and shallots. Spoon the juices from the bottom of the baking dish over everything, and serve with the grilled citrus for squeezing.

Steps:
- 1. Make 1 or 2 cuts in the fat side of each pork chop to keep it from curling during grilling. Arrange the chops in a baking dish and set aside.2. Combine the garlic and sugar in a mini chopper or food processor and process to a paste, or pound to a paste in a mortar using the pestle. Work in the fish sauce, honey, rice wine, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and pepper. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture over both sides of the chops. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 1 to 2 hours.3. Preheat the grill to high.4. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the chops on the hot grate and grill until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side for thick chops (half that amount of time for thin). When tested with an instant-read thermometer, the internal temperature should register 160°F. Transfer the chops to a platter and serve immediately.Serves 4

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help them stay juicy during grilling.
- Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help them to flavor and tenderize.
- Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops.
- Cook the pork chops over indirect heat: Once the grill is preheated, cook the pork chops over indirect heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the pork chops are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chop and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your grilled pork chops are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give grilled pork chops a try!
