Report
One of my favorite grilled pork chop recipes. The pork chops are brined in a flavorful marinade, fire grilled and glazed in a mixture of pineapple and spicy gochujang. Absolutely delicious.

Instructions
- Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. You can also use a large sealable baggie or plastic bag.
- Add your pork chops to the bowl or bag and submerge in the marinade.
- Marinate for 1 hour minimum, or up to 24 hours for the best flavor penetration. The marinade can be made up to 2 days in advance.
- For the glaze, whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Pour them into a small pot and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze thickens up. Remove from heat and it will thicken even more as it cools.
- When ready to cook, remove the pork chops and discard the marinade.
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Add the pork chops to the grill and cover. Grill for 3-4 minutes.
- Flip the pork chops and grill another 1-2 minutes. Get those nice grill marks!
- Reduce the heat to medium-low (or, if using charcoal, move the chops to less direct heat) and mop a bit of the sweet-spicy glaze over the chops.
- Continue to grill another few minutes, basting on more glaze, until the internal temp of the pork chops are at least 145 degrees F for medium-rare and 160 degrees F for well done.
- Remove the chops and let rest a few minutes before serving. Top with extra glaze and serve.
Notes
- Serves 4.
- Makes about 1.5 cups of glaze.
- Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F for medium-rare, or 160 degrees F for well done.
