Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 8-to-10-ounce bone-in pork loin chops, trimmed of excess fat
1/2 cup bourbon or apple cider
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 medium beefsteak tomatoes, halved crosswise
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat: For gas, preheat to medium high, then turn off the burners on one side and turn the other burners to medium low. For charcoal, once the coals ash over, push them to one side.
  • Whisk 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3 cups warm water in a large bowl. Add the pork and soak 10 minutes.

  • Remove the chops from the brine; pat dry. Brush with the vegetable oil and grill over direct heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the cooler side of the grill and cook 3 to 4 more minutes per side, brushing with the sauce. Serve with the remaining sauce and vegetables.

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. I use cream, mushrooms, onions and bourbon along with beef stock to make a sauce that is out of this world. I like to serve this with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.

PORK CHOPS WITH MUSTARD BOURBON SAUCE



Pork Chops with Mustard Bourbon Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 center-cut, bone-in, rib pork chops (about 3 pounds)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, for about 1 minute or until the surface of the pan is uniformly hot. Pat the chops dry, and season the chops on one side with salt and pepper. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chops seasoned side down and cook until the chops are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and cook for 1 minute more. Season the top side of the chops, and turn the chops over. Continue cooking until firm and an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F, about 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the chops to a plate, tent with foil and set aside to rest.
  • Pour off any fat remaining in the skillet. Pull the pan from the heat and carefully add the bourbon. Return the pan to the heat and tip the pan slightly to ignite the alcohol. Cook until reduced by half then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes, then whisk in the mustard and the cream. Simmer the sauce until it coats the back of a spoon, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve with the pork chops.

Provided by Tess DeFevers Ehling

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Baked

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups apple cider
½ cup honey
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
⅓ cup whiskey (such as Jack Daniel's®)
3 tablespoons whiskey (such as Jack Daniel's®)
4 thick center-cut pork chops

Steps:

  • Simmer 1/3 cup whiskey in a separate small saucepan over medium-low heat until steam no longer smells of alcohol, about 10 minutes; stir into the apple cider mixture. Reduce this mixture to 1/2 cup, forming an apple cider glaze and cool.

  • Place pork chops into a baking dish; brush with the apple cider glaze.

Tips:

  • Choose thick-cut pork chops: They will hold up better to braising and stay moist and juicy.
  • Sear the pork chops before braising: This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a good quality bourbon: The flavor of the bourbon will come through in the braising liquid, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Add some sweetness to the braising liquid: This can be done with brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup. The sweetness will help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and vinegar.
  • Cook the pork chops until they are fall-apart tender: This will take about 1-2 hours, depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables are all good options.

Conclusion:

Bourbon braised pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are braised in a flavorful sauce made with bourbon, tomatoes, and vinegar. The result is a tender and juicy pork chop that is full of flavor. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides and enjoy!
