Succulent Hickory Grilled Pork Chops Food

GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Prepare and preheat your lump charcoal grill to create two heat zones: high and low.
• In a small bowl, combine the salt, coriander, chipotle powder, cumin, paprika and mustard powder. Pat the chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with the spice mixture. Rub the exterior of the seasoned chops with the olive oil.
• Sear the chops over the hot side of the grill until the exterior forms a nice crust, about 4 minutes per side. Move the pork to the low side of the grill, cover the grill and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then serve.

EASY GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Begin by making the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, oil, vinegar, cumin and red pepper flakes. Easy, right?
• Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and place in a re-sealable plastic bag with the marinade. Let rest on the counter for 1 hour. That's easy.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Remove the pork chops from the bag and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until the pork chop releases from the grill, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. If using a grill pan, be sure to do in batches so you don't steam the chops. And don't worry if you have neither; you can do this in a pan. See, easy!

SUCCULENT BAKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Stir together the hoisin sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Dip each pork chop into the mixture, and place in a shallow baking dish. Pour any remaining sauce over the top. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake the pork chops uncovered until the sauce has turned to a glaze and the meat is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes.

SUCCULENT HICKORY-GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine pork chops, wine, oil, lemon juice, garlic, sage, parsley, pepper and salt in a zip top bag. Seal tightly, pressing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate the pork for 2 to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, soak the hickory chips in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect high heat (pile all the coals on one side) and lightly oil grate. Put the soaked hickory chips over the coals.
• Cook the pork chops on the side of the grill away from the coals for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, or until desired doneness is achieved. For best results, cover the grill while cooking so that the meat is infused with the smoke flavor; place the air vents on the lid over the meat, open fully, to draw the smoke over the meat. The air vents in the bottom should be half-open on a breezy day, or fully open on a still day.

SUCCULENT PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Whisk together the garlic, ginger, sage, and salt in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium-high or preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
