Equipment

  • Kamado Joe Grill
  • Blender
  • Gallon Zip Top Bag

Ingredients

  • 3 lb Pork Steaks This should be about 3 steaks.

Marinade

  • 3 Stalks Lemongrass
  • 1 Shallot
  • 4 Green Onions
  • ⅓ Cup Fish Sauce
  • ⅓ Cup Water
  • 3 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • ⅓ Cup White Sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoon Granulated Garlic
  • 1.5 tablespoon Granulated Onion
  • ½ teaspoon MSG
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt

Garlic Fish Sauce:

  • ½ Cup Water Warm
  • ¼ Cup White Sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 tablespoon Fish Sauce
  • 1 Lime Juiced
  • 2 tablespoon Garlic Minced
  • 1 Thai Chili Diced (optional)

Instructions

Marinade the Steaks:

  • Add all of the marinade ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Add the steaks & Marinade to a ziplock bag. Place in your refrigerator for at least 1 hour, it is way better if you do it overnight.
  • Set your Kamado Joe up for 2 zone cooking by banking the charcoal to one side. Place your grill grates as close to the charcoal as possible. Let the grill preheat for at least 15-20 minutes with the top and bottom vents totally open.

Grill The Steaks:

  • Remove the steaks and discard the marinade. Make sure to remove any lemongrass from the marinade that sticks to the steaks.
  • Grill directly over the hot side. You can spray them with some oil throughout the cooking process. This helps them get a nice crust. Cook until the pork has a nice golden brown crust and is cooked at least 135F(57C). Take off the heat and rest for at least 10 minutes.

Make the Garlic Fish Sauce:

  • Add all of the marinade ingredients to a bowl and mix until all of the sugar has disolved.

Enjoy!

  • Dip the steaks in the sauce and serve with some rice, cut cumbers and sliced tomato or just eat the steaks as is!
