Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4-6 thick-cut pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
3 cup baby arugula
2 packages Maple Marinade (I used Watkins)
½ cup cooking oil
¼ cup organic honey
4 tbsp water
3 tbsp white vinegar

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Divide equally and set aside half the mixture at room temperature.
  • Place pork chops in a zip-top bag and cover with the remaining half of the marinade. Remove as much air as possible from the bag, massage marinade into meat, and place on a plate to prevent leaks. Place chops in refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  • Light your grill and set up for two-zone cooking. Establish grill temperature between 225° and 250° F.
  • Remove pork chops from the bag, and discard any marinade that has touched the pork. Place chops on your preheated grill over indirect heat. Close lid and allow pork chops to cook until internal temperature reaches 130° F. Remove pork from grill and stoke coals to create high direct heat.
  • Place pork chops over high direct heat, flipping every 20-30 seconds in order to create a perfect crust. Remove pork chops from the grill when they are five degrees less than desired eating temperature.
  • Brush hot pork chops with warm marinade that was set aside, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Plate pork chops on a bed of arugula and drizzle with remaining marinade as desired for serving.

GRILLED CHOPS WITH APPLE-CRANBERRY MAPLE GLAZE



Grilled Chops with Apple-Cranberry Maple Glaze image

Categories     Sauce     Side     Roast     Cranberry     Apple     Spring     Brine

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

Brine
1 1/2 cups apple cider
1 1/2 cups water
3 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
6 dried allspice berries
1/2 bay leaf
6 bone-in pork chops or boneless loin chops (1 inch thick)
Glaze
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup cranberry sauce
1/2 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/16 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the brine ingredients and stir well. Place the chops in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the brine. Refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours, turning once.
  • Combine the glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan and mix well. Heat the glaze over medium heat, just until warm. Remove from the heat and reserve 1/2 cup of glaze for serving.
  • Build a charcoal and/or wood fire for direct grilling. Grill the chops directly over the hot coals (approximately 450°F) for 8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature is 150°F. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, baste both sides of the chops with the glaze. Drizzle the reserved glaze over the chops or pass separately at the table.
  • Cooking Method
  • Direct heat
  • Suggested Wood
  • Hickory, Apple, Apricot

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pork chops in a grill pan over medium heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan well before adding the chops.
  • For a smoky flavor, add a few wood chips to the coals before grilling the pork chops.
  • If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute honey or brown sugar.
  • To make the glaze ahead of time, simply mix all of the ingredients together and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork chops with maple-apple glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the glaze adds a sweet and smoky flavor. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
