Grilled Maple Dijon Pork Chops

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup grainy Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 chopped shallot
  • 1 teaspoon each salt, pepper, and thyme
  • drizzle of light oil like grape seed or similar (this just helps them to not stick on the grill)

Directions

  1. Toss the pork chops in the marinade to coat and put them in the fridge for about 45 minutes-hour.

  2. Heat up your grill, and toss them on.

  3. Tasty tip- Use applewood smoking chips to add an even more amazing layer of flavor

  4. About 5-6 minutes on each side for a medium high heat. You want them cooked through (it’s not safe to eat raw pork!) but slightly pink in the center…not raw pink but the hue of pink in the center. If your pork is thicker you will obviously need to cook them longer, and ideally use a meat thermometer to check the meat- at 135 degrees remove the chops from the grill and put them on a plate covered in tinfoil to rest for 10 minutes where it will continue to cook to the perfect 145 degree doneness.
