(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. canola oil
  • 1 tbsp. light brown sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 4 thin-cut bone-in pork chops
  • 2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
  • 1 small onion, cut into 6 wedges
  • 1 red or green jalapeno, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 2 tbsp. butter, cut into small chunks
  • 2 tsp distilled white vinegar

Directions

  1. In a gallon-size Ziploc bag, combine 3 tbsp. of the soy sauce, 1 tbsp. of the oil, the brown sugar, garlic, and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the pork chops and smush them around to cover with the marinade.

  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  3. Brush the zucchini, onion and jalapeno with the remaining 1 tbsp. oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and grill until the zucchini and onion are tender and charred on both sides, 7 to 8 minutes per side. While the vegetables are cooking, in a medium bowl, combine the butter, vinegar and the remaining 1 tbsp. soy sauce.

  4. Transfer the grilled vegetables to a cutting board and right away cut them into bite-size pieces. While still hot, drop them in the bowl with the butter-soy-vinegar, toss, and cover with foil to keep warm.

  5. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and grill until just cooked, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve the chops with the veggies.
