Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 4 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, coconut aminos, lemon juice, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Mince garlic cloves and grate the ginger using a microplane, then add them to the marinade mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Cut the pork shoulder into strips approximately 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long. Make sure all strips are uniform for even cooking.
Place the pork strips into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the pork.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing flavors to meld and the meat to tenderize. For best results, marinate for up to 8 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Once the grill is heated, remove the pork strips from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place pork strips on the grill in a single layer.
Grill the pork strips for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F, with nice grill marks.
Remove the pork strips from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
While the pork is resting, chop the green onions.
Garnish the grilled pork strips with chopped green onions before serving.
