GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH CHERRY SAUCE



Grilled Pork Chops With Cherry Sauce image

If you thought pork and apples were a winning combination, just wait 'til you try pork and cherries.

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 almondjoy2807

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Baked

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 (8 ounce) bone-in pork chops
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup butter
¾ cup sliced shallots
1 ½ cups fresh black cherries, pitted and halved
2 tablespoons red wine
¼ cup beef broth
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then brown in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops to the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the pork chops are no longer pink in the center, and register 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) on a meat thermometer, about 20 minutes.

Stir in the red wine and beef broth, and bring to a simmer. Season with rosemary, and simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened.

PORK CHOPS IN CHERRY-PEPPER SAUCE



Pork Chops in Cherry-Pepper Sauce image

You can use this sauce - spicy and fragrant and slightly syrupy, what the Italians call agrodolce - on pork chops as I call for here, or on veal chops, on steaks, on chicken. I bet it'd be good on grilled seitan or drizzled over tofu. The recipe is reminiscent of the cooking at red-sauce emporia like Bamonte's in Brooklyn, Rao's in Manhattan, Dominick's in the Bronx and, I hope, Carbone in Greenwich Village, where I first learned how to put it together at the elbow of the chef Mario Carbone. Serve with spaghetti dressed in butter and Parmesan, with garlic bread, with a spoon so you can slurp what's left on the plate. "It's a flavor that's purely Italian-American," Carbone told me. "You won't find it in Italy, no way."

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16-ounce) jar pickled hot cherry peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup dry white wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 bone-in pork chops, cut about 1-inch thick (approximately 10 ounces each)
1 tablespoon neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
2 tablespoons cold salted butter
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Drain the cherry peppers, reserving 1 cup brine, then stem, halve, core and seed them. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until it begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peppers, the reserved brine and the white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by slightly more than half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made a few hours ahead of time.)
  • When you're ready to cook the meat, season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the neutral oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the meat in the pan, working in batches if needed, and sear until the meat has browned, formed something of a crust and cooked through to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter.
  • Add the sauce to the large, heavy-bottomed skillet in which you seared the meat, and warm over medium-low heat. Whisk the butter into the sauce until evenly distributed and the sauce develops a velvety sheen. Spoon sauce over chops, and garnish with parsley.

Pork Steaks with Cherry Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 to 5 teaspoons chile flakes, depending on how spicy you like it
Four 1 1/4-inch-thick pork butt steaks
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 jalapeño, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups pitted fresh cherries (frozen work, too)
One 7.5-ounce can cherry soda, like Dr. Pepper
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • For the rub: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pepper, salt, sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and chile flakes. Liberally sprinkle the pork steaks on both sides and allow to marinate, refrigerated, for 3 hours or up to overnight.
  • Set up your grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • Make the cherry barbecue sauce: Place a saucepan over the direct-heat side of the grill. Add a drizzle of olive oil along with the jalapeño and onion. Season with the coriander, cumin and salt and sweat until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cherries, cherry soda, molasses and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cherries have softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and purée until smooth. Add the balsamic and lemon juice and purée again. Transfer back to the saucepan and place on the indirect-heat side of the grill. Cook until the sauce thickens and reduces, about 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  • Place the pork steaks on the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook, keeping the temperature of the grill between 250 and 275 degrees F and basting with the cherry barbecue sauce once they have cooked for 2 hours, until the pork steaks are tender and an internal temperature reaches 195 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours total. Remove from the grill and allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with any remaining cherry barbecue sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • For the perfect grilled pork chops, choose chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a nice marbling of fat. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • To make sure the chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the chops by cutting into one of them. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare, or slightly brown in the center for medium or well-done.
  • To make the cherry sauce, use fresh cherries if possible. They will give the sauce a brighter, more vibrant flavor. If you only have frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
  • If you don't have any port wine, you can substitute another type of red wine, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. You can also use a non-alcoholic substitute, such as cranberry juice or pomegranate juice.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork chops with cherry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the cherry sauce is sweet and tart. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
