For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to your desired level of doneness. The USDA recommends a minimum internal temperature of 145°F for pork.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop or broil the pork in the oven.
Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness in the sauce.
Shallot can be substituted with minced red onion or yellow onion.
The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.
