prepare the pork by sprinkling with salt and pepper
and then give them the smokey flavor with some liquid smoke
Toss them on the grill
And the glaze goes on at the end of cooking
Cook them just right and they’ll be nice and juicy inside.
Quick and Easy!
Smoky Honey Mustard Pork Chops
4 4-6 oz. pork loin or sirloin chops
Kosher salt and pepper
Liquid Smoke
3 Tbsp. Dijon or whole grain mustard
1 1/2 Tbsp. honey
2 cloves minced garlic
Sprinkle pork chops with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Give them a liberal dousing of liquid smoke (you can usually find this either near the seasonings or the BBQ sauce/condiments in the grocery store). Set aside.
Heat oven broiler to high or preheat grill. Combine honey, garlic, and mustard. Place pork chops on broiler pan/grill and cook for 4-5 minutes. Turn and cook another 4-5 minutes. You want the internal temperature to be at least 165 (that’s a little pink inside), but you also don’t want to overcook them because they’ll become tough. So you may need to adjust your cooking times a little, bearing in mind that they have two minutes to cook after the initial 8-10 minutes.
Baste with honey mustard mixture and cook an additional minute. Turn and baste other side; cook for one additional minute. Remove from heat and allow to stand a few minutes to seal in the juices.
I like to serve it with a small baked potato and a salad (this one has avocado, red onion, and orange slices, but whatever tickles your fancy). It would also be awesome with Garlic Balsamic Asparagus.
