Directions: |
Directions:1. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a zip top bag. Add the pork chops to the bag. Massage the contents to evenly distribute the marinade over the pork chops, and use your fingers to crush the onions
2. Marinate the pork chops for 18-24 hours
3. Preheat your grill to Medium High heat (375-425 degrees F) for two-zone grilling (one direct heat side and one indirect heat side) You can cook these on any grill you have, but you will get a more authentic recipe if you cook these over charcoal
4. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and shake off any excess pieces. Don't discard the marinade
5. Place the chops on the indirect side of the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F (this will take approximately 15-20 minutes).
6. Place a 12" cast iron skillet on the direct side of the grill and pour in the remaining marinade. Grill until the onions are cooked through and caramelized (you can do this while your chops are on the indirect side of the grill in the next step).
7. Move the chops to the direct side of the grill to finish cooking and give them a crisp exterior. Flip them every 1-2 minutes until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145° F.
8. Remove the pork chops from the grill and serve topped with the caramelized marinade. |
