CEDAR PLANK PORK CHOPS



Cedar Plank Pork Chops image

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 double bone in pork chops
3/4 canola salad oil
1/2 Worcestershire Sauce
1 BOU Chicken Bouillon Cube
1 Texas Java Rub
6 fresh bay leaves
2 Big Green Egg Cedar Planks, soaked, size 15"x5½"

Steps:

  • *Notes*
  • Soak the planks for at least 2 hours in water prior to grilling.
  • If the sides of the Cedar Plank start flaming -- spray the edges only with water (spray only the plank-do not water spray the Pork Chops)
  • *Directions*
  • Combine the salad oil, BOU Cube and Worcestershire sauce. Blend well in a blender for approximately 45 seconds.
  • Place the pork chops in a rectangular pan - Pour the BOU flavored oil over the chops & top with bay leaves. Turn the chops over to assure they are totally coated - Marinate 3-4 hours.
  • Remove from the marinade. Drain lightly & season both sides liberally with java rub.
  • Place seasoned pork chops on the warmed Green Egg Cedar Plank down the center.
  • Set the Cedar Plank on the grill over a medium high to high heat. Cook the pork chops to an internal temperature of 130-145˚F. Check temperature at 15 minutes. Serve & enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for thick-cut, bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick. Bone-in pork chops are more flavorful and less likely to dry out during cooking.
  • Brine the pork chops: Brining helps to tenderize and flavor the pork chops. To brine, simply place the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and spices for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: A marinade can help to infuse the pork chops with even more flavor. Choose a marinade that complements the flavor of the pork chops, such as a herb marinade, a citrus marinade, or a honey-mustard marinade.
  • Cook the pork chops over indirect heat: Cooking the pork chops over indirect heat helps to prevent them from drying out. To cook over indirect heat, set up your grill for two-zone cooking. Place the pork chops on the side of the grill that is not directly over the coals or burners.
  • Use a cedar plank: Cooking the pork chops on a cedar plank adds a delicious smoky flavor. To use a cedar plank, soak the plank in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Place the pork chops on the plank and then place the plank on the grill.
  • Cook the pork chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. The pork chops are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful pork chops.

Conclusion:

Cedar plank pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. By following these tips, you can cook perfect pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and smoky. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
