How to Make Caramelized Grilled Pork
- Place pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder or rolling pin, pound each chop to 1/8-inch thickness.
- Make several small slits around the edges of each chop.
- Cut each chop in half lengthwise and place in a bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, cook 1/2 cup granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it melts into a golden caramel. (Be careful not to burn it!)
- Add 2 finely chopped shallots, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the caramel. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the caramel is dissolved and the shallots are softened.
- Pour the caramel sauce over the pork, ensuring all pieces are coated. Toss gently to combine.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Grill the pork in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Serve immediately. Discard any remaining caramel sauce.
