I started out fixing another recipe but didn't have all the ingredients, so I came up with this one! The spice gives it a flavorful kick. You can make your own five-spice powder by combining cloves, cinnamon, anise and nutmeg. I love that you can make this dish on the stovetop or the grill. -Jill Thomas, Washington, Indiana

CHINESE FIVE-SPICE-AND-MAPLE-GLAZED PORK CHOPS

Chinese Five-Spice-And-Maple-Glazed Pork Chops image

For this dish I marinate lean and versatile boneless top loin pork chops (also known as "America's Cut") in five-spice and finish it in a tangy and smooth maple glaze. This dish pairs well with my Asian Pear and Cucumber Slaw. The Asian pear, native to China, Japan and Korea, has a sweet flavor with a crisp texture, marries well with a variety of flavors and is a quick no-cook side dish option. A plastic V-slicer or mandoline will make quick work of cutting the Asian pears and cucumber into matchsticks.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 boneless pork loin steaks, 1 1/4 inch-thick (America's Cut)
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup Chinese five spice powder
2 tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup maple syrup, preferably Grade B
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps:

Marinating Time: 8 hours, 20 minutes.
To prepare the pork chops: Brush pork chops with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the five-spice powder evenly over pork chops. Place on a plate and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before searing.
To prepare the glaze: Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add maple syrup and vinegar and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F Add a little cooking oil to pan and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, sear the pork chops until brown, about 3 to 5 minutes each side. Place the pan in the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the center of a chop reads 145ºF, about 10 to 12 minutes. During the last 3 minutes, reheat the maple sauce and brush both sides of the chops until well glazed. Remove from pan from the oven and let stand for 3 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right pork chops. Look for bone-in chops that are at least 1-inch thick. This will help them stay moist during cooking.
Make sure your smoker is preheated. The ideal temperature for smoking pork chops is between 225°F and 250°F.
Use a good quality five-spice powder. This is the key ingredient in the glaze, so make sure you use a brand that you trust.
Don't overcook the pork chops. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help them retain their juices and flavor.
