1
Marinate the Pork
In a food processor, combine the lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Blend until smooth. Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
2
Grill the Pork
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the pork for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
3
Assemble the Bánh Mì
Slice a baguette in half lengthwise. Layer sliced grilled pork, pickled carrots, sliced cucumbers, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices inside the baguette. Drizzle with additional fish sauce if desired.
