Step 1
Toss pork slices with fish sauce, lemongrass, and honey until well coated. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches, grill pork slices 60-90 seconds per side without stirring—edges should caramelize and char.
Step 4
Arrange lettuce leaves and cucumber slices on a serving plate. Top with grilled pork.
Step 5
Serve immediately with dipping sauce on the side.
