GRILLED DOUBLE-THICK PORK CHOPS WITH SOUTHERN FLAVORS



Grilled Double-Thick Pork Chops With Southern Flavors image

Provided by John Willoughby

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 double-thick rib or loin pork chops
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large yellow onion, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup rum
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon allspice
Pinch of mace

Steps:

  • Build a small fire in one side of a covered cooker, using enough charcoal to fill a shoe box. It will take about 40 minutes for the charcoal to reach the right temperature.
  • Meanwhile, rub the chops lightly with 1 tablespoon of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the other tablespoon of oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and saute, stirring occasionally, until transparent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic, and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the rum, vinegar, ketchup, molasses, allspice and mace, and bring to a boil. As soon as the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Place the chops on the grill directly over a hot fire and cook for 3 to 4 minutes a side. When they are nicely seared, move them to the side of the grill with no fire and let them cook slowly, uncovered, about 10 minutes a side. During the last minute of cooking, brush the chops with the sauce. Cut into one chop to make sure it is cooked through and just lightly pink at the center. Remove from the grill and serve drizzled with any extra sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose thick, bone-in pork chops for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • Make sure to brine the pork chops for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to tenderize the meat and keep it moist.
  • Use a flavorful rub or marinade to add extra flavor to the pork chops. Some good options include a mixture of brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, or a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat.
  • Cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Be careful not to overcook the pork chops, as this will make them tough.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and keep the meat tender.

Conclusion:

Southern Sweet Grilled Pork Chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The pork chops are brined and then grilled to perfection, and the sweet and tangy sauce adds a delicious flavor. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
