Categories     main-dish

Time 36m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus extra for grill
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 thinly cut (about 1/2-inch thick) smoked pork chops

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan to medium-high.
  • In a plastic resealable bag, big enough to fit the chops, mix together the sugar, honey, oil, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Add the pork chops and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pork from the marinade. Lightly brush the grill with oil. Put the chops on the grill and cook until grill marks form, about 2 minutes. Rotate the chops 90 degrees, and grill for 2 minutes more, to create diamond grill marks. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from grill to a serving platter and serve.

Time 30m

Yield 4 chops, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (10 ounce) pork chops, frenched
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 sprig fresh rosemary, torn into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Put pork chops on a plate; drizzle with oil; season generously with salt and pepper; let sit for 30 minutes.

  • Put pork chops on grill and cook, occasionally turning and basting with balsamic mixture, until browned and cooked through, 12-14 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For best results, choose thick-cut pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • To tenderize the pork chops, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.
  • For a sweeter sauce, use pineapple juice instead of apple juice.
  • For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeƱo pepper.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork chops in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Serve the pork chops with rice, noodles, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the sauce is sweet, tangy, and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
