During New Year, pork and sticky rice are the main dishes. This recipe is one of the dishes prepared at New Year. I decided to give this a try because I never make my own spice rub to roast or grill any meat before. Traditionally, the pork is rubbed with spices and then roasted. I decided to grill instead. The spice rub is really simple to mix and what I love so much about the rub is the flavor from the nutmegs and Szechuan peppercorns. This rub will totally work on lamb as well. Serve it with a hot bowl of plain rice and we were to go!
LISU GRILLED SPICE-RUBBED PORK
Ingredients
- About 2 Tbsp lard or bacon drippings
- About 1 1/2 lbs boneless pork butt or loin , no more than 2 inches thick at its thickest
- 2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 ½ tsp dry-roasted Szechuan peppercorns , round
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Cut the pork crosswise into 3/4-to 1-inch thick slabs. Rub on both sides with the spice blend
- Preheat the grill pan and place the pork slab on the grill, turning the meat once partway through, and basting it with a little lard or oil to keep it moist
- It takes a little longer to cook with the stove-top grill, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour for it to thoroughly cooked through
- Tent with aluminum foil to keep them warm and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Thinly slice before serving
