Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pork loin chops, preferably bone-inand at least 1 inch thick
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for the sauce
1 teaspoon freshly ground blackpepper, plus more for the sauce
1 teaspoon  finely minced garlic
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 cup cherries, stemmed, pittedand halved
½ cup fruity red wine

Steps:

  • Pat the chops dry, and rub them all over with a mixture of the rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. Cover, and marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chops back to room temperature before grilling.
  • Heat one side of a charcoal or gas grill, and put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook the chops over the hottest part of the fi re until well seared on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Move them to the cool part of the grill, cover and cook until done, anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fi re and the thickness of the chops. The pork is done when it's just fi rm to the touch, its juices run just slightly pink and the meat is rosy in the center, or when an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees in the thickest part of the chop (the temperature will continue to rise as the chops rest). Transfer them to a platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest while you make the sauce.
  • Put 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the shallots, and cook until soft, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the cherries, wine and whatever juices have accumulated around the pork chops; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thin syrup, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, until it's incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chops, and serve.

Provided by Vickie Parks

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pork loin chops, at least 1-inch thick (bone-in preferred)
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh garlic, minced
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp shallots, minced
1 cup sweet cherries (like bing or similar variety), pitted and halved
1/2 c fruity red wine
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Pat the chops dry, and rub them all over with a mixture of the rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. Cover, and marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chops back to room temperature before grilling.
  • 2. Heat one side of a charcoal or gas grill, and put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook the chops over the hottest part of the fire until well seared on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Move them to the cool part of the grill, cover and cook until done, anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fire and the thickness of the chops. The pork is done when it's just firm to the touch, its juices run just slightly pink and the meat is rosy in the center, or when an instant-read thermometer registers 135° in the thickest part of the chop (the temperature will continue to rise slightly as the chops rest). Transfer them to a platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest while you make the sauce.
  • 3. Put 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the shallots, and cook until soft, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the cherries, wine and whatever juices have accumulated around the pork chops; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thin syrup, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, until it's incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chops, and serve.

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 them stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
  • Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and spices will help them stay tender and moist. You can brine the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops. This will help create a nice sear on the outside of the pork chops and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the pork chops over direct heat: Cook the pork chops over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest: After cooking the pork chops, let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the pork chops and make them more tender.

Conclusion:

Grilled cherry pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can create juicy, flavorful pork chops that your family and friends will love.
