BOURBON BARBECUED PORK CHOPS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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. Meanwhile, mix the bourbon, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, the garlic and ginger in an ovenproof saucepan. Put on the grill over direct heat; bring to a boil, then remove from the grill.
  • Grill the onion and tomatoes over direct heat until charred, about 3 minutes per side for the tomato and 4 to 5 minutes per side for the onion. Add to the saucepan, then return the pan to the grill and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 15 more 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: For this recipe, you can use either pork chops or pork tenderloins. Pork chops are a less expensive option and have a slightly tougher texture, while pork tenderloins are more tender and flavorful but can be more expensive.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of bourbon, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme adds flavor and helps to tenderize the meat. Be sure to marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the pork over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the pork and create a nice crust, while still cooking the inside through.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to the proper temperature: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, while pork tenderloins should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This grilled bourbon-marinated pork chop or pork tenderloin recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The marinade infuses the pork with flavor, and the grilling process creates a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside moist and tender. Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad, for a complete meal.
