Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup (120 ml) soy sauce
1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (90 ml) hoisin sauce
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (90 ml) ketchup
1/3 cup (80 ml) oyster sauce
2 tablespoons (30 ml)sherry
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
2 to 4 drops red food coloring, optional (see Cook's Note)
2 pounds (900 grams) pork chops (each at least 1-inch thick)
4 tablespoons (60 ml) honey
Vegetable oil, for greasing
Apple and Arugula Salad, recipe follows, for serving
2 sweet-tart small apples, such as Honeycrisp
7 ounces arugula, preferably organic
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
3 tablespoons (45 ml) fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Pinch each of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, hoisin, ketchup, oyster sauce, sherry, ginger, five-spice powder, and food coloring, if using. Set the marinade aside.
  • Place the pork chops in a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade over the pork. Let the pork marinate while you prepare the salad or up to overnight in the refrigerator. (The longer it marinates, the better the flavor.)
  • Transfer the pork marinade to a small saucepan. Stir in the honey until completely combined. Bring to a boil and reserve this sauce for serving.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat until hot, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Wipe excess marinade from the pork chops. Grease the grill or grill pan with vegetable oil right before adding the chops. Grill the chops until golden brown with some grill marks on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chops over and cook until the internal temperature reaches about 145 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for at least 8 minutes. Smother the chops with some of the reserved sauce, slice into 1/2-inch wide pieces then drizzle with some more of the sauce. Serve with the apple and arugula salad.
  • For the salad: Peel, quarter, core and thinly slice the apples. Combine with the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl.
  • For the dressing: Combine all of the ingredients in a mason jar and shake vigorously. Taste and adjust the seasonings, as needed.
  • Toss the salad with the dressing and serve immediately.

Peanut Smoked Pork Loin with Peanut Butter BBQ Sauce and Carrot and Pickled Onion Salad image

Provided by Brad Sorenson

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 cups peanut shells, from roasted peanuts
2 pork loins, trimmed, about 1/2 pounds each
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Steak seasoning (recommended: Montreal) or other quality steak seasoning
Carrot pickled onion salad, recipe follows
2 cups ketchup
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup tomato paste
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons ancho chili powder
4 tablespoons prepared barbecue sauce
3 ounces bourbon
1 small red onion, sliced thin
2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
3 carrots, peeled and julienned
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
3 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
1 orange, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons peanut oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill. Soak the peanut shells in water for 45 minutes.
  • Season the pork well with salt, pepper, and steak seasoning. Smoke the pork on the grill for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Transfer the pork to a roasting pan, drain the peanuts and add them to the pan. Roast the pork in the oven until it reaches 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven to a cutting board.
  • Peanut Butter BBQ Sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients in a large saucepot and bring it to a simmer over low heat. Let simmer for at least 1 hour. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Slice the pork and arrange it on a serving platter. Spoon the warm BBQ sauce over the top and serve with the Carrot and Pickled Onion Salad.
  • Put the red onions in a shallow baking pan. In a saucepan, add the vinegar, sugar, and salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Pour the hot liquid over the onions and cover immediately. Let sit covered for at least 1 hour. Strain the onions and reserve.
  • To assemble the salad: In a medium-sized serving bowl, combine the carrots, parsley, peanuts, orange zest and juice, peanut oil and pickled onions and toss to combine well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder or butt is the best cut for pulled pork because it is well-marbled and flavorful. Pork loin is also a good option, but it is leaner and may dry out more easily.
  • Cook the pork low and slow. This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to develop.
  • Use a flavorful rub. A good rub will help to add flavor to the pork and create a crispy crust.
  • Baste the pork regularly. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served on a bun, in a taco, or on top of a salad. It can also be used as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, and burritos. No matter how you choose to serve it, pulled pork is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
