Grilled Ginger-Soy Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 6 bone-in pork chops
• 1/4 cup peanut oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1 tsp. dried chili pepper flakes
• 2 tsp. ginger puree
• 2 tsp. garlic puree
• 1 tsp. dried mustard

Directions

1. Cut away any excess fat from the pork chops if you like, then tuck them into a Ziploc bag or a shallow plastic container that seals tightly.
2. For the marinade, stir together the peanut oil, dried mustard, garlic puree, ginger puree, dried chile flakes, rice vinegar, and soy sauce until everything is well blended.
3. Add the marinade to the pork chops, seal them up, and let them sit for 6-8 hours or longer.
4. When it’s time to cook, pull the pork chops from the fridge, set them in a colander in the sink to drain, and let the chill come off before they hit the grill.
5. Coat the grill with non-stick grilling spray, then heat it to medium hot.
6. Set the pork chops diagonally across the grates and grill for 4-5 minutes, until lifting an edge shows good grill marks.
7. Turn the chops so they run diagonally the other way on the grates, and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the crosshatch marks show when you peek underneath.
8. Flip the pork chops and cook the second side for 4-5 minutes more, just until they feel firm without being hard when you press them. The exact timing depends on how thick the pork chops are, so use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer and cook them to 145F for best results.
