Provided by Adam Gertler

Categories     main-dish

Time 14h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Brine, recipe follows
4 double-cut pork chops, approximately 2 inches thick (about 12 to 14 ounces)
Light olive oil, for brushing
8 cups water, for boiling
Peach bourbon BBQ sauce, recipe follows
8 cups water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 cups kosher salt
1 cup brown sugar
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
6 cloves fresh garlic, cut in 1/2
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup minced shallots
2 (16-ounce) bags frozen peaches
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup bourbon whiskey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Once the brine has cooled completely, add the chops and allow to soak for at least 6 but no more than 12 hours. Remove chops from brine just before smoking.
  • Smoke pork until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F, or about 1 to 2 hours
  • Keep grill temperature at approximately 200 to 250 degrees F or pork will overcook. Smoke chops until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. After desired internal temperature is reached, brush chops lightly with oil and grill over hot coals for 1 1/2 minutes; rotate 1/4 turn clockwise and grill 1 minute more to create attractive grill marks. Flip chop and repeat grilling method; the prettier side is the top.
  • Chops should ultimately reach an internal temperature of 150 to 160 degrees F. If necessary, place chops in 375 degree F oven after grilling to finish cooking. For an extra fancy presentation, pull the pork off the bone, slice into 1/4-inch strips and fan out on the plate.
  • Brush grilled chops with melted butter and let rest 2 minutes before serving. Place each chop on the plate on a serving plate. Serve with peach bourbon bbq sauce.
  • Serving suggestion: Try adding a starch as an accompaniment: mashed potatoes, stewed white beans, or even steamed brown rice.
  • In a nonreactive, stainless steel 8-quart saucepan, bring all brine ingredients to a boil and stir until sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Transfer to a 1-gallon plastic or stainless steel container and refrigerate until completely cooled.
  • In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sweat for several minutes until soft. Add peaches, bring to simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add lemon juice, cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and chicken stock. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until thick. Add whiskey, return to simmer, cook for 5 more minutes and remove from the heat. Adjust seasoning and sweetness. Puree mixture with immersion blender or food processor until smooth and thick.

Smothered Pork Chops with Bourbon and Mushrooms image

This is a updated version of my mom's pork chops with cream of mushroom soup. I don't care for the canned soup due to the high sodium.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give your pork chops their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory ingredients.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help prevent them from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will cook too quickly and become tough.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness. The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Bourbon barbecued pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly every time. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
