Grilled Pork Chops With Peaches Recipes

Steps:

• Light a fire in a fire pit with a grill, or in a charcoal grill, or set a gas grill to high. If you have a very strong vent in your kitchen, you may use your stove with a burner set to high. Place a large cast-iron pan or two-burner griddle over the heat and allow it to get hot. At this point you can let the fire die slightly with no ill effect. If using a gas grill or stove, turn heat to medium.
• Meanwhile, put the pork on a work surface and, using a meat mallet, pound to an even thickness of approximately 3/4 of an inch.
• Combine the garlic, rosemary and 6 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl, mixing to make a rough paste. Season the pork aggressively on both sides with salt and pepper, then spread half the garlic mixture over one side and half on the other side.
• Brush the pan or griddle with the remaining olive oil, allow it to heat until it shimmers and is almost smoking, then place meat on the hot surface and cook, without touching, until it forms a good crust, approximately 10 minutes.
• While the meat cooks, surround it with the peaches, cut side down, and dot the fruit with the butter. (If you're using two cast-iron skillets, place the peaches in their own oiled pan.) Let them cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly charred. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• When the meat is well browned on the first side, use tongs to turn it over, and cook in the remaining butter for another 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the meat to a carving board and allow it to rest below a tent of foil for approximately 5 minutes. Slice the meat and serve with the peaches.

Steps:

• In a wide 6- to 8-quart pot whisk together 8 cups water, salt, and sugar until salt and sugar are dissolved.
• Add pork chops to brine and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas; see Grilling Procedure below).
• Remove pork chops from brine, discarding brine, and pat chops dry with several layers of paper towels. Season chops with pepper.
• Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally and moving around if flare-ups occur, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes total.
• Move chops to area with no coals underneath (if using gas, turn off a burner and move chops to area over shut-off burner) then cover with lid, and grill, turning and brushing with liquid, until thermometer inserted horizontally into center of chop as close to bone without touching it registers 145°F for slightly pink meat, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• Transfer chops to a platter and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve chops with peach relish.

Steps:

• Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Prepare a gas grill or grill pan for medium-high heat and oil the grill grates.
• Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Combine 1/4 cup oil, the zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon thyme and 1 tablespoon honey in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops, press out any air, seal and massage to make sure the chops are well coated. Set aside.
• Pit and slice each peach into eight wedges. Combine the peaches and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat and set aside.
• Remove the pork from the marinade. Carefully wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each pork chop. Spoon some of the marinade over the prosciutto, handling it delicately to keep the prosciutto intact. Place the pork on the grill, seam-side up, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, flipping the chops once, until the prosciutto is crisp and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Make sure to turn the pork so all sides crisp evenly.
• Transfer the chops to a clean, rimmed baking sheet to rest. It is important for the pork to rest at least 5 minutes and up to 10 minutes to make sure the juices evenly redistribute and the pork finishes cooking.
• While the pork rests, add the peaches to the grill, reserving the liquid in the bowl, and cook, flipping once, until grill marks form and the peaches have softened slightly, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining zest and juice of 1 lime, remaining 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon pepperoncini pickling liquid to the bowl containing the peach juice. Whisk with a fork.
• Add the sliced pepperoncini and toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the grilled peaches and toss to coat.
• Put the pork chops on a serving tray and top with the grilled peach mixture. Drizzle the sauce over the pork and peaches and garnish with the remaining thyme. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Trim all visible fat from chops and season with salt and pepper to taste. Brown chops in vegetable oil.
• Combine reserved peach syrup, brown sugar and ginger. Pour over chops and bring to a boil. Add peaches and cook, uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until liquid is reduced to half and thick. Turn chops occasionally to insure even cooking. Serve!

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the first five ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until jelly is melted. Remove from the heat and set aside., Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with compote.

Steps:

• To cut chops from a bone-in pork loin, follow along the rib bone with a sharp knife to make one clean cut. Season the pork chops thoroughly with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. One at a time, cover each chop with a piece of plastic wrap and lightly pound with the back of a heavy knife or a spoon to work the seasoning into the chops.Cut the peaches into medium ½-inch chunks. Slice the garlic cloves into thin slivers. Pull the sage leaves from the stems and thinly slice.
• Heat a heavy bottomed cast-iron pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
• To the hot pan, add all of the chops standing up on their fat cap side, to render off some of the fat, and pan-sear for a few minutes. Remove two of the chops, and lay the other two down on their meatier sides, to pan sear and cook through. After a few minutes, carefully turn over and brown the other side for another few minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
• Repeat for the remaining chops. Remove from the pan and let rest with the other pork chops.Drain and discard some of the cooking oil. Add the peaches to the pan and sauté vigorously, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sage, and immediately add the apple cider. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the butter and swirl the mixture together, to emulsify the butter into the peaches. Remove from the heat.
• Stack the rested pork chops on a platter and finish by spooning the peaches and pan juices over top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk vinegar, 4 tbsp oil, shallot, 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl.
• Rub pork chops with 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Brush peaches with oil, salt and pepper. Season radicchio with oil, salt and pepper.
• Heat grill pan to medium high and cook chops three minutes on each side. Lower heat to medium low and cook four to six minutes more until done. Remove.
• Caramelize peaches three to four minutes on each side. Remove.
• Cook radicchio, turning every minute or so until edges brown slightly, but lettuce remains firm.
• Arrange chops, peaches and radicchio on serving platter (or individual dishes) and pour vinaigrette over all. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Spray the grill racks with Pam and preheat grill to medium high.
• Prepare herb rub by mixing together first 6 ingredients (orange zest - pepper) in a small cup or bowl until mixture forms a paste. Rub pork chops with mixture.
• Place chops on grill and grill until pork chops are done (160-degrees F if using a meat thermometer) about 5-10 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your chops and desired doneness. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
• Meanwhile spray the cut sides of the peaches (or nectarines - see note in description) with Pam. Place cut side down on grill, turning until tender and marked with grill lines (4-5 minutes per side -- I put my peach halves on the grill while the pork chops were cooking (after I turned the chops over) so everything was done at the same time.).

Steps:

• Heat the grill to hot.
• Brush the pork with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side.
• The outside should be charred (not burned), and the meat should be light pink in the middle.
• While the chops cook, brush the peaches with oil and add them to the grill, cut side down. Grill for 5 minutes until soft.
• Remove, slice and toss with pine nuts, onions, blue cheese and vinegar; season with salt and pepper.
• Place a quarter of the peach mixture on top of each chop and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from pork chops. Pat dry and season both sides with salt. Set aside.
• Mix red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ½ tsp. cumin seeds, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl to combine. Heat honey in a small saucepan over medium just until warm. Remove pan from heat and stir in spice mixture. Set spiced honey aside.
• Toss peaches, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, remaining ½ tsp. cumin seeds, and remaining 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt in a medium bowl to combine. Chill peach pico de gallo until ready to serve.
• Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two thirds of coals on one side of grill and scatter remaining coals on other side; for a gas grill, set one burner to high heat and remaining burners to medium-low); oil grate. Grill reserved chops on hotter side of grill, moving to cooler side as needed to control flare-ups, until lightly charred on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Move pork chops to cooler side of grill, cover, and grill, turning often and basting with reserved spiced honey, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork chops registers 145°, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer pork chops to a platter and let rest 10 minutes.
• Spoon peach pico de gallo over pork chops just before serving.

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup olive oil and vegetable oil in a measuring cup. Combine 2 tablespoons marjoram, Dijon mustard, garlic, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk oil mixture into herb mixture until creamy. Season to taste with pepper. Transfer about 1/4 cup dressing to a small bowl; cover and chill.
• Season pork chops with 4 teaspoons salt. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; pour remaining dressing over, spreading evenly to distribute. Seal bag; chill for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl of ice water to chill. Drain beans; pat dry. Transfer beans, remaining 1 tablespoon marjoram, and shallot to a medium bowl; toss with enough reserved dressing to coat and season with salt and pepper.
• Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Remove pork chops from bag, scraping off excess dressing. Grill chops, turning occasionally on all sides, until browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes total. (Be sure to cook thick chops on the edges, too, and melt the thin strips of white fat; they'll cook more evenly.)
• Place peaches in a medium bowl; drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Grill peaches, cut side down, until they begin to soften and char, 4-6 minutes. Transfer pork and peaches to a cutting board; let pork rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice peaches. Carve bones from pork and thinly slice meat. Serve pork and peaches with bean salad.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, honey and rosemary.
• Reserve 2 Tbs. and add the rest to a 1-gallon zip-top bag.
• Add pork to bag and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• Preheat broiler to high or coat a grill pan with cooking spray and heat to medium-high over stove.
• Remove pork from fridge, discard marinating liquid and season pork with salt and pepper.
• Broil pork or cook in grill pan until pork is opaque throughout and feels firm to the touch. About 5-6 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, cook peaches under broiler or in a grill pan over medium heat until tender and juicy, 3-5 minutes.
• Transfer to plate, season with salt and pepper and brush with reserved marinade.
• To serve, place a pork chop on each of 4 plates and top with 2 peach halves. Garnish with thyme leaves.

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals.
• Mix butter and molasses together well. Add lime and set aside. Rub cut side of peaches with oil.
• Sprinkle chops and peaches generously with salt and pepper. When coals are covered with gray ash and fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above coals for only 1 to 2 seconds), put chops on grill directly over coals. Put peaches on grill along edge of coals.
• After 4 minutes, flip chops and cook for 4 minutes more, then move chops to part of grill with no coals. Cover them with a disposable foil pan, and continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes more for medium.
• When you move chops, flip peaches over. During last 2 minutes of cooking, coat peaches liberally with molasses-butter mixture. Remove from grill and serve.
