Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons honey, such as acacia
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 center-cut pork loin chops, bone in (about 12 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, garlic and thyme in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the honey and simmer until the mixture has thickened slightly, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the butter and set aside.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Season the pork chops evenly on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and place on the hot grill pan. Grill the first side until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Flip the chops and grill for an additional 5 minutes on the second side. Baste the chops with some of the sauce and then continue basting and flipping until the chops are caramelized and slightly charred and the meat registers 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the chops to a platter and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve drizzled with the remaining sauce.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

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.
