Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes

Time 2h6m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ quarts water
5 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
6 pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick
½ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
½ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Vidalia onions, each cut into 8 wedges
2 pears, cored and each cut into 8 wedges
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the water, kosher salt, and sugar. Add pork chops to this brine, and let them soak for no more than one hour. Drain and discard the brine. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels.
  • In a shallow dish, stir together the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. Place pork chops in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 or 2 hours.
  • Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by 1/2, about 10 minutes. When the vinegar cools, it should be the consistency of syrup.
  • Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high or high heat. Add the onions and pears, and quickly brown being careful to keep the wedges intact. Once the onions and pears are browned, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 7 minutes, or until tender. Stir in the reduced vinegar and salt. The recipe can be prepared up to this point several hours before grilling.
  • Preheat the grill for medium-high heat.
  • Warm pears on a cool section of the grill (in the skillet), while placing the pork chops over the hot part. Cook pork for about 3 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Remove to a serving plate, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for a few minutes. Uncover, top with the pear onion sauce, and serve.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the pork, make sure to give it plenty of space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the pork will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the pork from sticking.
  • Cook the pork to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the pork is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Let the pork rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs: Peppered pork is a versatile dish that can be seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs. Some popular choices include black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and oregano.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Peppered pork can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
