grilled pork butt
Preheat an outdoor grill to 250°C (500°F). If you don't have a thermometer, an excellent way to check if the heat is high enough is by placing your hand about 10 cm (5 inches) above the grill racks. If you can't hold your hand over the racks for more than 2 seconds, the grill is ready. Using metal kitchen thongs, add the marinated pork. Grill for 2 minutes on each side or until beautifully grilled and caramelized.
TipThe pork butt is done when it reaches 70 °C / 160 °F. -
make the sauce and serve
Place a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, diced chili, diced garlic, honey, and water. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the vinegar and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add the grilled pork butt, stir to combine, and serve. Optionally sprinkle with diced parsley and chili.
