Ingredients:
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped shallot or 3 tablespoons chopped yellow onion
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh lemongrass (from 2 medium stalks)
- 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
- Rounded ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1½ tablespoons canola or other neutral oil
- 1½ tablespoons fish sauce
- 1¼ teaspoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon molasses, dark amber honey, or caramel sauce
- 4 thin-cut bone-in pork chops (about 6 ounces each), approximately ½ inch thick
Directions:
- In a small food processor, combine garlic, shallot, lemongrass, brown sugar, and pepper; process to a fine texture. Add oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, and molasses; process until smooth. Transfer marinade to a medium bowl.
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Add to the marinade, turning to coat well. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate up to 24 hours (bring to room temperature 30 minutes before grilling).
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat, prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Grill pork chops for 5 to 7 minutes, turning frequently, until firm and cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.
