Garlic Herb Grilled Pork Tenderloin is a classic combination of garlic, rosemary and olive oil.  These pork tenderloins have a delicious savory Mediterranean essence.

The tenderloins are lightly scored down their length and stuffed with the garlic, rosemary and fresh thyme. Rubbed all over with olive oil to keep it moist, the meat is grilled over hot charcoal until the pink in the center is just gone and the meat is juicy and tender.

Simple, quick and delicious – what more could you ask for?

Grilled Brown Sugar Pork Chops are perfect for the backyard BBQ. Adults and children alike will love these. 

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: Barbecue

Keyword: Grilled Brown Sugar Pork Chops

Servings: 6

Calories: 280 kcal

Ingredients

• 6 boneless pork chops 3/4-inch or thicker
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup unsweetened apple juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• Kosher salt and ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 or 3 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

1. Light a charcoal barbeque or heat a gas grill. Lightly oil the grate.
2. Combine the brown sugar, apple juice, soy sauce, olive oil and ground ginger in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Make a paste of the cornstarch and water and whisk it into the mixture. Stir until the sauce is thickened. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.
3. Season the chops with the kosher salt and black pepper. Grill the chops 10 to 12 minutes per side, depending on their thickness. Just before you remove the chops from the grill, brush them with some of the sauce. Serve the remaining sauce on the side.

Good To Know – This is another one of those flexible recipes that can be amended to suit your needs.

No grill? No problem. Preheat the oven broiler and line the broiler pan with aluminum foil. Season the pork chops with kosher salt and ground black pepper and spoon some of the sauce over the top of each.

Broil the chops, as far from the heat source as possible, for about 7 minutes per side. Turn them over, spoon more sauce and continue to broil until they are done to your liking. The sauce will develop a lovely burnt-sugar topping, turning the sweet to savory.

Food For Thought – Try making a few amendments to the sauce once you have the technique down.

Other fruit juices, such as pineapple, orange or mango will blend well with the brown sugar. Although apples are a classic pairing with pork, a puree of mango, pineapple or orange will easily take the place of apple juice. Even apple cider will provide an extra bit of zip.

Whatever you end up with as your favorite, make extra to use with chicken, ribs and ham.

Tropical Grilled Pork Chops are thick loin cut pork chops grilled and served with an unbelievably exotic salsa of cardamom, mango, cilantro and applesauce.

You have to try this recipe if you have never had this combination before. The chops are marinated for an hour with half the mixture, then grilled and served with the remaining sauce.

The chops themselves can be broiled or roasted if an outdoor grill is not available, but don’t pass on the sauce.

In fact, make a double batch and serve it with grilled chicken and fish. So aromatic and wonderfully savory, your grilled pork chops will be the toast of the town!

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: Grilling

Keyword: Tropical Grilled Pork Chops

Servings: 6

Calories: 320 kcal

Ingredients

• 6 center-cut pork chops at least 3/4-inch thick
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
• Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Salsa

• ½ cup pineapple chopped
• 1 large clove garlic minced
• ½ cup golden brown sugar
• 1 mango peeled, seeded and chopped
• ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
• 1 medium jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
• 1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds ground
• ½ teaspoon coriander seeds ground
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Combine the garlic, chili powder, cardamom seeds and coriander seeds in a food processor or blender and grind to a paste.
2. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the ground paste and let it cook for less than a minute. Whisk in the vinegar and simmer the mixture for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in the brown sugar, mango, salt, lemon juice and jalapeno. Let the mixture simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
4. Whisk in the applesauce and the chopped pineapple. Let the sauce simmer another 10 minutes. Season the mixture with kosher salt and a little ground white pepper is desired. Let the mixture cool.
5. To marinate the pork chops, mix 2/3 cup of the sauce with the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Put the pork chops into a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, covering them equally. Seal the bag and refrigerate them for an hour.
6. Light a charcoal barbecue or heat a gas grill for medium high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
7. Remove the chops from the marinade and shake them to eliminate any excess. Drain the marinade from the plastic bag into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil.
8. Grill the pork chops, basting frequently with the boiled marinade, about 10 minutes per side, or until they have reached your preferred doneness. Turn the chops once and baste the other side.
9. Heat the reserved salsa in a small saucepan and pour over the cooked pork chops.

The sauce on these Tropical Grilled Pork Chops would also work with other meats. Try chicken!
