A simple soy sauce-based marinade and fast cooking on the grill make for a juicy, tender pork chop.

Ingredients

  • 2-4 Bone-in Pork Chops, or up to 6 boneless Chops
  • 3/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mirin
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • Sides
  • White or Brown Rice
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 tbsp Grapeseed oil
  • 1 bunch Broccolini, or more if there's more than two people

Instructions

1

At least 4 hours before cook time, prepare the marinade: mix together Soy Sauce, Mirin, Apple Cider Vinegar, Sesame Oil and Worcestershire Sauce.

2

Place chops in a large Ziplock bag or container and pour in marinade. Squeeze out as much air as possible (or cover if using a container). Zip and Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.

3

Set up your grill with a hot zone and cool zone. Set Grill grates over hot zone. Get the temperature of the hot zone up to 500-700 degrees.

4

Sear pork chops for three minutes on each side, then move to the cool zone to finish cooking. Pork chops are done when the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees (about 6-8 minutes). Let chops rest to finish cooking, internal temp will be 145-150.

Broccolini Side

5

Heat grapeseed oil in skillet over medium-high heat.

6

Fry garlic slices for 10-20 seconds, until golden.

7

Use the same pan, or transfer oil to a larger pan and sauté Broccolini over medium-high until it takes on some color.

8

Reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook until just tender.

9

Serve with rice.

Notes

You can do the pork chops in a grill pan by heating the pan over high heat and searing each side for 3 minutes. Then transfer the chops to a 300-325 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees. Let chops rest to finish cooking, internal temp will be 145-150.
