- Prepare the sauce: Combine vinegar, 1/2 cup water, brown sugar, ketchup, pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove and heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Brush the grill grates with olive oil.
Place the meat on the grill and cook over direct heat, turning, for 20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a thermometer into the thickest part of the meat; the thermometer should read 140-145°F (60-63°C). Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush the corn cobs with olive oil. Place on the grill and cook, turning, for 5 minutes. Slice the pork and drizzle with the sauce. Serve with the corn.
