The first time I fell in love, truly in love with Vietnamese food was when I tasted bun thit nuong. Ah, how do I describe the richness of flavors? The sweet, succulent, tangy, slightly spicy pork, paired with delicate rice noodles, and crisp fresh herbs and vegetables… folks it doesn’t get much better than this. I urge you to try this recipe for yourself, and I bet you’ll fall in love, too.
One of my favorite recipes I made for the Man with the grill, was a chili lime and cumin skirt steak. The beauty of this recipe is in the chili, lime, and cumin marinade. Now, there are a lot of cuts of meat where it would be an absolute sin to marinade the meat for an extended period of time. This is not the case with skirt steak. Skirt steak has a tendency towards being tough, and that makes it the perfect cut for marinades.
