Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 cups root beer
2 cups reduced veal stock
4 (16 ounce) double-cut pork chops
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

Combine all ingredients of the creole seasoning thoroughly.
To make the glaze, combine the root beer and stock in a medium heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to a thick syrup, about 1 cup, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from heat.
Preheat a grill to medium-high. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Season each chop on both sides with 1 teaspoon of ESSENCE. Place on the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Turn each chop 1/4 turn to make grill marks and cook an additional 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the second side for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over each chop. Roast until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 150 degrees F, 12-15 minutes.
Place the chops on four serving plates and drizzle with glaze.
