JUICY GRILLED THIN-CUT PORK CHOPS

Juicy Grilled Thin-Cut Pork Chops image

I am posting this because these are the juiciest pork chops I've ever come across, even the second day. I hate left over pork chops because they are always dry. I usually make my via Shake & Bake, but only make two to avoid any leftovers. I saw this on Cook's Country and thought, why not, I love grilling and buying 4 at a time is usually the better bargain. I was shocked how juicy and tender they were. I have found my new leftover pork chop recipe. I hope you will too with this one.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 Chops, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 1/2 inches thick pork chops
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, not melted
1 teaspoon fresh chives, chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated lemon zest

Steps:

Remove chops from store packaging, pat dry with paper towels. Cut (3) 1/2" slits near the outer edge of each chop. Season each chop with salt, both sides, rubbing salt into meat. Place on sheet pan covered with parchment paper or wax paper. Place in freezer for 30 minutes to an hour. Chops need to be firm but not completely frozen.
In meantime, mix 2 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, & pepper in small bowl, set aside. DO NOT put in fridge.
Mix 2 tablespoons butter, chives, mustard, & lemon zest in another bowl and refrigerate until solid. NOTE: You can do this a day ahead of time.
Preheat grill and oil (with vegetable oil) grates. While grill is heating remove chops from freezer. Pat dry again with paper towels, baste both sides with butter, brown sugar mixture.
Once grill is hot place chops on and grill 3-4 minutes each side. Meaty part of chop should face center. Remove from grill and dollop with chive butter. Cover gently and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Warning - the sauce does not smell or taste very good on its own! But it makes the best grilled pork chops I have ever had. Serve it with grilled pineapple slices and rice.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

¾ cup ketchup
¾ cup maple syrup
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon black pepper
8 (1-inch thick) boneless pork chops

Steps:

Combine ketchup, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, butter, mustard, oil, salt, cloves, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes.
Place pork chops in a zip-top bag and pour cooled sauce over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, to overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 25 minutes total, flipping as needed. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

Choose high-quality pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling (thin streaks of fat running through the meat). This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a flavorful solution (such as a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and spices) for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
Use a good quality grill: A good quality grill will help to evenly cook the pork chops and give them a nice char. If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pork chops in a grill pan or under the broiler.
Cook the pork chops over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chops from drying out. If you're using a charcoal grill, push the coals to one side of the grill and cook the pork chops on the other side. If you're using a gas grill, turn off the burner on one side of the grill and cook the pork chops on the other side.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness: Pork chops are safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. However, many people prefer to cook pork chops to a slightly higher temperature, such as 155 degrees Fahrenheit, for a more tender and juicy result.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your grilled pork chops are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try! You won't be disappointed.
