Grilled Pork Chops with Pineapple
What is the ultimate pairing for a grilled pork chop? Grilled pineapple! The sweet, juicy pineapple is the perfect balance for the robust pork chop. You'll definitely want to give this summertime recipe a try!
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz can Pineapple rings juice drained and reserved
- ¼ cup Member's Mark™ Light Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup Soy sauce
- ¼ tsp Member's Mark™ Garlic Powder
- 4 Pork chops
- 1 pinch Member's Mark™ Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a large plastic zipper-top bag, combine the drained pineapple juice, Member's Mark™ Light Brown Sugar, soy sauce, and Member's Mark™ Garlic Powder, squeezing the bag a few times with your hands to mix the marinade and dissolve the sugar. Place the pork chops into the marinade, squeeze out any air in the bag, seal it, and refrigerate overnight. Reserve the pineapple rings.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the chops from the marinade and shake off the excess. Grill until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the meat shows good grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Brush several times with marinade and let the marinade cook onto the surface of the meat.
- Discard excess marinade. While the meat is grilling, place 4 pineapple rings onto the grill, and allow to cook until hot and the slices show grill marks. Garnish the pork chops and pineapple with chopped green onions - try serving with jasmine rice, too!
