Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) can pineapple rings, juice drained and reserved
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
4 pork chops
1 pinch ground black pepper

Steps:

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PINEAPPLE-TURMERIC GLAZE



Grilled Pork Chops with Pineapple-Turmeric Glaze image

For this grilled pork chop recipe, don't be afraid of getting a good char. It just means the sugars in the glaze are caramelizing (not that the meat is burning), resulting in deep, complex flavor.

Provided by Chris Morocco

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Pork Chop     Pork     Pineapple     Honey     Mustard     Grill/Barbecue     Grill     Summer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Vegetable oil (for grill)
1/2 cup pineapple juice (from a can)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
4 (1"-thick) bone-in pork chops
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for high indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off; for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side); oil grate. Bring pineapple juice, honey, vinegar, mustard, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and turmeric to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, swirling occasionally, until reduced to 3/4 cup, 10-15 minutes. Let cool. Transfer half of sauce to a small bowl and set aside for serving.
  • Season pork with salt. Grill over direct heat until browned all over, about 3 minutes per side. Continue to grill, turning several times and basting with remaining sauce, until charred and coated with a thick layer of glaze, about 4 minutes. Move to cooler part of grill and take internal temperature of pork. If needed, continue grilling over indirect heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into chops near bone registers 130°F, 1-4 minutes more. Transfer pork chops to a wire rack and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with reserved sauce alongside.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops or chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For pork chops, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C); for chicken, it should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the pork chops or chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the meat. The juices should run clear, not pink.
  • For a thicker glaze, reduce the pineapple juice by simmering it in a saucepan over medium heat until it has reduced by half. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute granulated sugar. However, the brown sugar will give the glaze a richer flavor.
  • To make the glaze ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, bring it to room temperature before brushing it on the pork chops or chicken.

Conclusion:

Pineapple glazed grilled pork chops or chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or weeknight meal. The sweet and tangy glaze adds a wonderful flavor to the meat, and the grilled vegetables are a healthy and flavorful side dish. Whether you choose to use pork chops or chicken, this recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
