GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEANUTS, SESAME AND CILANTRO



Grilled Pork Chops With Peanuts, Sesame and Cilantro image

Smoke has been called the umami of barbecue, and these pork chops, which the chef Curtis Stone cooks over wood fire at his restaurant Gwen in Los Angeles, possess it in spades. Fish sauce and soy sauce provide the salt in the marinade; hoisin sauce and honey the sweetness. The peanuts and sesame seeds in the topping reinforce the nuttiness of the sesame oil in the marinade. You can use charcoal if wood is not an option, or cook over gas if necessary.

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup sesame oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chile oil
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, minced
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
4 thick pork rib chops (12 ounces each)
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Prepare the pork chops: Place all the ingredients except for the chops in a mixing bowl and whisk to blend.
  • Arrange the chops in a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, turning them to coat both sides. Marinate the chops in the refrigerator for 4 hours, turning them over a couple of times so they marinate evenly.
  • Meanwhile, build a wood fire in your grill with a hot zone for searing and a medium zone for cooking. (You can do the same with charcoal. If you're using a gas grill, place a few hardwood chunks under the grate over one or two of the burners. Heat one burner on high heat and additional burners on medium heat, adjusting the heat as necessary.) Brush and oil the grill grate.
  • Grill the pork chops, allowing some but not all of the marinade to drip off first, until sizzling and browned on the outside and cooked to taste. If you like your pork with a blush of pink, cook until it reads 145 degrees in the center on an instant-read thermometer (about 3 minutes per side); if you like your pork cooked all the way through, look for the meat to reach 155 degrees in the center (about 4 minutes per side). Work mostly over the medium fire, moving chops to the hot fire at the end to sear the crust. Transfer the chops to a wire rack over a sheet pan and let rest for 2 minutes.
  • Garnish and serve: Combine peanuts, scallions, cilantro and sesame seeds in a bowl and toss to mix. Arrange chops on a platter or individual plates. Sprinkle with peanut mixture and serve.

JALAPEñO GRILLED PORK CHOPS



Jalapeño Grilled Pork Chops image

Juicy jalapeños offer discernible heat, but they have a higher purpose beyond that: They provide welcome freshness with their distinct vegetal flavor. When blitzed with aromatic cilantro stems and plenty of garlic, jalapeños transform into a punchy marinade that flavors and tenderizes pork chops gloriously, and tinges them a bright Reptar-Bar green, too. That brilliant color, evidence of the chlorophyll in the peppers and herbs, stays vibrant even after a fiery kiss on the grill.

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 large jalapeños, stemmed
5 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 bunch cilantro stems, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 packed cup)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for cooking
1 tablespoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
8 thin-cut, bone-in pork loin chops (1/2-inch thick)
1 large jalapeño, thinly sliced into rings
1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rings
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Cilantro leaves and tender stems, for garnish
Cilantro rice or cooked white rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the pork chops: In a food processor, blitz the jalapeños, garlic, cilantro stems, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt and sugar until smooth. Place the pork chops in a large bowl or resealable container and pour the marinade over them; turn the chops to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
  • While the chops marinate, prepare a charcoal grill for direct high-heat cooking, or heat a gas grill to medium-high.
  • Make the relish: In a small bowl, toss the jalapeño, red onion, rice vinegar, salt, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Set aside to quick-pickle until ready to serve, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • Carefully grease the grill grate: Use tongs to grip a wadded paper towel dipped in oil and then rub the grates with the oiled towel. With the marinade clinging to them, place the pork chops on the hot greased grate. Grill until the chops are charred at the edges and no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. The meat is ready to flip when it releases easily from the grates. (If using a gas grill, close the lid between flips.) Alternatively, cook the chops on the stovetop in batches. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, and heat until shimmering. Add the chops, with the marinade clinging to them, to the pan. Sear until browned and caramelized at the edges and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Discard any remaining marinade.
  • Serve the chops with the relish and cilantro on top. If you'd like, serve rice alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose pork chops with a good amount of marbling for added flavor and juiciness.
  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the pork chops to an even thickness.
  • For a more intense peanut flavor, toast the peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and slightly browned.
  • If you don't have sesame oil, you can substitute a neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil.
  • Be sure to finely chop the cilantro, as large pieces can be difficult to chew.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately, garnished with additional peanuts, sesame seeds, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

These grilled pork chops with peanuts, sesame, and cilantro are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are marinated in a flavorful mixture of peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, and ginger, then grilled to perfection. The combination of peanuts, sesame seeds, and cilantro creates a delicious and aromatic crust on the pork chops. Serve with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
