Honey Mustard Grilled Pork Chops
Honey Mustard Grilled Pork Chops are coated with a tangy glaze made from apple cider vinegar, honey, whole grain mustard, brown sugar, and spices, then grilled with basting to develop a balance of sweet and savory flavors and a caramelized finish.
Ingredients
- 2 TB apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp cornstarch
- ½ cup honey pure
- 3 TB whole grain mustard with seeds in it
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- salt Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 4 pork chops bone-in*, 1-inch thickness, 8-10 oz each
Instructions
- In a saucepan, whisk together the vinegar and cornstarch until fully dissolved and no white bits of cornstarch remain. Add honey, mustard, onion powder, cayenne, and brown sugar. Whisk to combine, simmer over medium heat and continue whisking until glaze is reduced a bit, 5 minutes. Divide and reserve half of the glaze for serving. Keep other half of glaze for basting.
- Pat chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tsp kosher salt with 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle chops evenly with salt/pepper combination.
- Grease grill and preheat on medium-high. Grill chops about 3-4 min per side, or just until center is cooked. Don't over cook. Brush chops with glaze that was reserved for basting and grill another minute per side.
- Serve with reserved glaze drizzled over cooked chops.
Notes
- Boneless pork chops can be substituted but require shorter cooking times to avoid drying out.
- Serve with fresh salads like Peach Caprese or Caprese Pasta Salad with Basil Pesto for a balanced meal.
