Grilled Pork Chops With Balsamic Marinade Recipes

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH BALSAMIC CARAMELIZED PEARS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the water, kosher salt, and sugar. Add pork chops to this brine, and let them soak for no more than one hour. Drain and discard the brine. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels.
• In a shallow dish, stir together the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. Place pork chops in the dish, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 or 2 hours.
• Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by 1/2, about 10 minutes. When the vinegar cools, it should be the consistency of syrup.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high or high heat. Add the onions and pears, and quickly brown being careful to keep the wedges intact. Once the onions and pears are browned, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 7 minutes, or until tender. Stir in the reduced vinegar and salt. The recipe can be prepared up to this point several hours before grilling.
• Preheat the grill for medium-high heat.
• Warm pears on a cool section of the grill (in the skillet), while placing the pork chops over the hot part. Cook pork for about 3 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Remove to a serving plate, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for a few minutes. Uncover, top with the pear onion sauce, and serve.

BALSAMIC PORK CHOP MARINADE

Steps:

• Place the pork chops in a large ziplock bag. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and rosemary.
• Pour the marinade over the pork chops and seal the bag, squeezing out all the air.
• Move the pork chops around in the marinade until they are all evenly coated.
• Refrigerate and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours (see note).
• You can freeze the pork chops in the marinade immediately and let them marinate as they defrost, or marinate and cook them immediately.
• Either grill the pork chops for 4-8 minutes per side over medium heat (about 400F), pan fry for 4-8 minutes per side over medium heat, or bake at 400 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F has been reached.
• Let the pork chops rest, tented with foil, for 5 minutes before serving.

• In a shallow glass dish, whisk together the vinegar, Dijon, basil, and pepper. Add the oil in a thin stream.
• Place the pork chops in the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
• Heat the grill about 30 minutes before serving time.
• About 15 to 20 minutes before serving, cook the chops on the hot grill, turning once, until the internal temperature reads 145°, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the meat from the grill and tent with foil. Allow to rest for three minutes before serving.
