Cindys Mongolian Pork Chops Recipes

GRILLED MONGOLIAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, rice vinegar, sherry vinegar, sesame oil, 2 teaspoons sugar, hot sauce, white pepper, and black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly and set aside.
• Place pork chops in a resealable freezer bag; pour slightly more than 1/2 the marinade into freezer bag over pork chops. Seal bag and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. Reserve remaining marinade.
• Combine 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons hot mustard powder, and egg yolk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes; remove from heat.
• Stir in creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Refrigerate until needed.
• Remove pork chops from marinade and pat dry using paper towel.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook pork chops on the preheated grill until browned grill marks appear, about 4 minutes per side.
• Move pork chops from directly above heat source. Continue cooking over indirect medium heat, brushing the remaining marinade on each side, until no longer pink inside, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve pork chops topped with mustard sauce.

CINDY'S MONGOLIAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Trim the excess meat and fat away from the ends of the chop bones, leaving them exposed. Put the pork chops in a clean plastic bag, and lightly sprinkle with water to prevent the meat from tearing when pounded. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet, pound the meat down to an even 1-inch thickness, being careful not to hit the bones. Alternatively, have your butcher cut thinner chops and serve 2 per serving.
• To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Coat the pork chops liberally with about three-quarters of the marinade, and marinate for 3 hours and up to overnight in the refrigerator. Reserve any remaining marinade for another use.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chops from the marinade, and place on the grill pan. Grill for 5 minutes on each side, rotating them a quarter turn after 2 to 3 minutes on each side to produce nice crosshatch marks. The pork is cooked when it registers 139 degrees.on an instant-read thermometer.

• Remove from marinade and place the chops on a pre-heated grill. Grill for 5 minutes on each side, rotating them a quarter turn after 2 to 3 minutes on each side, to produce nice crosshatch marks. It's good to baste with some of the marinade as the meat cooks. As with all marinated meats, you want to go longer and slower on the grill versus shorter and hotter, because if the marinated meat is charred, it may turn bitter. The pork is done when it registers 139*F on an instant read thermometer.

MUSTARDS GRILL'S BRAISED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut cabbage in half lengthwise and cut out the core. Cut each half in half again lengthwise, then cut each quarter crosswise into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until soft and golden brown. Add cabbage and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 25 minutes. Add vinegar, sugar, and cumin. Mix well, lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the juices are syrupy and the cabbage appears shiny, about 20 minutes. The cabbage should be tender but not mushy.
• Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.
