SPICE-RUBBED GRILLED PORK CHOPS



Spice-Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops image

Dry rubs are also a terrific way to season pork chops. Select chops of close to an inch in thickness - nothing flimsy - then grill them over steady medium heat. We opt for rib chops over the center-cut variety when cooking outdoors because their greater fat content helps keep them moist, and we always prefer bone-in chops for their juiciness. You might add a barbecue sauce on the side with these, but we relish their crispy surface unvarnished.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Pork Chop Willy's Grilling Rub
3 tablespoons sweet paprika, preferably Spanish
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon coarse salt, either kosher or sea salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
Six to eight 10- to 11-ounce bone-in pork rib chops, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
Vegetable oil spray

Steps:

  • At least 1 and up to 8 hours before you plan to grill the pork chops, prepare the dry rub, combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Coat the chops with the spice mixture, place them in a large plastic bag, seal, and refrigerate.
  • Fire up the grill, bringing the heat to medium (4 to 5 seconds with the hand test).
  • Remove the chops from the refrigerator and let them sit covered at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  • Spray the chops with oil and transfer them to the grill. Grill for 18 to 20 minutes total. Turn onto each side twice, rotating the chops a half turn each time to get criss-cross grill marks. The chops are done when just a hint of pink remains at the center. Serve hot.

SWEET N SPICY PORK CHOPS



Sweet N Spicy Pork Chops image

These are broiled, nicely spiced, and always a big hit. They're quick to prepare also, and work as well for a family dinner as they do for company. I usually make some type of green beans (if I'm really in a hurry I get a can of Del Monte seasoned green beans), and some type of potatoes, but mac n cheese works too. Also, kids love these.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 center-cut pork chops (or the type you prefer, thickness is up to you)
ground black pepper
granulated garlic
brown sugar, for each chop (I use light, but dark will work)
salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Line large broiler pan with foil (if not using heavy duty foil. line it twice, makes for easy clean up) Also. you just need the bottom of the pan, not the rack.
  • Place chops in pan, and season heavily with, pepper, and garlic (and note I mean HEAVY). Lightly salt, if desired. Then top with about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Place under broiler, (if using gas - use 2nd from top slot, if electric, either 2nd from top, or 3rd). If chops are really thick, for gas broiler, put on bottom slot.
  • Cook about 10 - 15 minutes, until sugar is bubbly and turning quite dark. The dark color is mostly just the sugar getting brown, not the meat.
  • Turn chops, then repeat with spices and sugar (yes another 2 tablespoons), and cook another 10 or 15 minutes, till done. Just keep watching them to make sure they don't burn, but remember the sugar is going to bubble and get dark, so account for that--just make sure pork is cooked totally through (or to the doneness you prefer). Cooking time is of course going to vary based on how thick your chops are.
  • Hope you enjoy.

SWEET N SPICY STUFFED PORK CHOPS



Sweet N Spicy Stuffed Pork Chops image

This is the first dish I ever mad for my DH when we were married. It is still the one he asks for the most! Thick cut pork chops stuffed with cheese and tomatoes and rubbed with tons of sugar and spice. I sometimes substitute fresh spinach or mushrooms for the tomato (or use a combination). I have also used the same recipe for stuffing and grilling pork tenderloins. I finish the tenderloin in the oven. Prep time doesn't include 2 hours optional marinade time.

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 butterfly pork chops, thick cut
1 -2 tablespoon carribean jerk dry seasoning (I use McCormick)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 roma tomato, sliced 1/4 in thick (or fresh spinach or mushrooms)
4 slices muenster cheese
3 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine jerk seasoning (you can vary the amount based on how spicy you like your food and how thick of a "crust" you want on your pork chop), cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, pepper, red pepper, soy, vinegar and oil.
  • Rub inside pocket of each chop with a small amount of this mixture. Rub outsides of chops with mixture generously. At this point you can continue with the recipe or refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow flavors to permeate the chops. I leave them uncovered in the fridge so the crust will dry out a bit.
  • Preheat grill for high and direct heat (we love charcoal and will sometimes add soaked applewood chips for more flavor). Allow chops to come back to room temperature if you refrigerated them. Rub inside of chop lightly with some brown sugar and more heavily crust the outside with brown sugar.
  • Open chops and grill for 2-3 minutes (cooking the INSIDE pocket of the chop) Remove from grill and stuff each with 2 slices of cheese and 2-3 slices of tomato. Secure chop closed with toothpicks or skewers that have been soaked in water.
  • Grill each side of pork chop for an additional 3-4 minutes depending on thickness of chop and how well you like your chops done. You may pat a bit more brown sugar on as you flip to give even more of a glaze to the chop.
  • Allow chop to stand for a couple of minutes once done grilling as they will continue to cook and redistribute juices.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS SWEET AND GARLICKY



Grilled Pork Chops Sweet and Garlicky image

Provided by Rita1652

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
4 minced garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
2 scallions, finely sliced
4 boneless center cut pork chops
scallion
cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except pork chops in small bowl.
  • Place pork and ingredients except garnish in a storage bag, Cover and Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
  • Remove pork from marinade.
  • Heat the marinade in small saucepan over medium heat to simmer.
  • Grill pork 12 to 15 minutes, turning once during cooking and basting frequently with marinade.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pork Chops: Select pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
  • Tenderize the Pork Chops: To make the pork chops more tender, you can use a meat mallet or tenderizer. This will help to break down the muscle fibers and make the meat more receptive to the marinade.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your pork chops their delicious flavor. You can use a variety of ingredients to create a marinade, such as olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and spices. Be sure to marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the Pork Chops Over Medium Heat: Grilling the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning and drying out. Cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the Pork Chops Rest: After grilling, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create perfectly grilled pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and tender. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
