Instructions
Chimichurri sauce:
- Add all the chimichurri sauce ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Blend on low for 1-2 minutes or until parsley and cilantro are uniformly chopped. The mixture should be smooth, but still have some texture from the herbs.
- Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
Grill the pork chops:
- Mix the bbq sauce, molasses, and sweet chili sauce in a medium bowl.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Also, you can use a grill pan, on the stove over medium heat.
- Pat dry pork chops with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- After that, arrange them on the grill. Top the pork chops with some barbecue sauce mixtures using a kitchen brush. Cover and let cook for 5-6 minutes before flipping.
- Flip and slather the chops with the remaining barbecue sauce, and cook covered for another 5-6 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the chops should read 155F/68C.
- Remove from the grill when and let them rest until the temperature reaches 160F/71C.
- Serve topped with a generous spoonful of chimichurri and grilled vegetables.
