Here are the ingredients you need to prepare this delicious dish.
Of course start with 1 - 1 1/2 lbs boneless pork chops. You can get these here at Miller’s Meat Market! Keep our bulk price in mind!
SPICE RUB:
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh thyme minced (can substitute 1/4-1/2 tsp dried thyme)
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
CIDER GLAZE:
1 1/2 cups apple cider - Try the Burrville Cider we carry here at Miller’s!
1/4 cup maple syrup - We have local maple syrup on our shelves as well!
1 Tbsp grainy Dijon mustard
2 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt
Now follow these directions to perfectly make these porkchops! Is your mouth watering yet thinking about those delicious fall flavors? Maple syrup and apple cider, I don’t think you can go wrong!! You begin this recipe by combining all of the cider glaze ingredients into a small saucepan, and whisking to combine all the components. Keep the glaze over the heat and bring it to a low boil, once this step is achieved reduce the heat to LOW and let the glaze simmer. Now it is time to preheat your grill to medium/medium -high heat. Then add all the spice rub ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine, the mixture should start to resemble a dry paste. Next, take your dry pork chops and rub each one with the spice rub mixture, be sure to really massage it into the meat for the best results in flavor. Once the grill is hot, place your chops on the grill. Brush each chop with the sauce that has been simmering, and grill for about 4 minutes or so. Then flip each piece of meat over, and brush that side with your cider glaze. Grill that side for approximately 4 minutes as well. Continue to generously brush the chops with the glaze as they cook, and once they are cooked remove them form the grill and to a plate to rest for a few minutes. Finish your dish by drizzling the chops with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.
Now THAT is the perfect September meal!
