For the Meat:
1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless pork loin roast, trimmed
For the Marinade:
1/4 cup thinly sliced lemongrass
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
3 medium fresno peppers
1 serrano pepper
1 large shallot, sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 medium limes, juiced
1 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp fish sauce
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
Slice the pork loin across into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Place into a large plastic zip-top bag.
Add lemongrass, ginger, Fresno chiles, serrano chile, shallot, garlic, turmeric, pepper, cumin, cayenne, brown sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oil to a blender or food processor, and blend on high until smooth.
Pour marinade into the bag of pork and massage thoroughly and toss until it's evenly coated. Seal the bag, squeezing out excess air as you do.
Transfer to the refrigerate and marinate overnight, or up to 24 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Remove pork from bag, wiping off most of the excess marinade.
Cook on the preheated grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Made with pork chop and boneless country ribs and came out good. Cooked 3 minutes per side.
Deseeded peppers and only used one Fresno chili on first try, but could have actually used more heat.
