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.

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.

I'm not a big fan of pork chops, but this recipe changed my mind. The glaze was amazing, and the pork chops were cooked perfectly.

These pork chops were so juicy and tender. The glaze was delicious, and it really complemented the pork chops.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this dish. The pineapple and turmeric glaze really made the pork chops stand out.
