How To Make Bbq Pork Chops?
- Prepare the sauce: Mix the balsamic vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, ½ tsp of salt, and ½ tsp of black pepper in a saucepan over medium-low heat; simmer for 20 minutes and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Preheat the grill: Set your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
- Season the chops: Sprinkle the pork loin chops with salt and pepper. Pour some sauce into a separate bowl and brush it over the chops, discarding any leftover sauce in that bowl.
- Grill the pork chops: Cook the chops on the grill for about 5 minutes per side or until an instant-read thermometer reads 63°C / 145°F in the center.
- Rest and serve: Allow the pork chops to rest for 3 minutes before serving. Serve with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side.
Recipe Tips:
- Simmer the sauce slowly: Make sure to simmer the sauce over medium-low heat for the full 20 minutes to let the flavors blend well without burning.
- Separate sauce for brushing: Always set aside a portion of the sauce for brushing to avoid contamination and ensure safe serving.
- Oil the grill: Lightly oil the grill before cooking to prevent the pork chops from sticking and tearing.
- Use a meat thermometer: For perfect doneness, check that the internal temperature of the chops reaches 63°C / 145°F.
- Let the chops rest: Allow the pork chops to rest for 3 minutes after grilling to lock in the juices and keep them tender.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover BBQ pork chops cool to room temperature. Then, place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Allow the BBQ pork chops to cool completely before placing them in a freezer-safe container or wrapping tightly in foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, move them to the refrigerator overnight before serving cold or gently reheating.
- Reheat: Place the pork chops on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat on medium power for 1-2 minutes, checking frequently to avoid drying out.
