Grilling season is upon us! We busted out our little charcoal grill last week for dinner. Instead of grilling up chicken breasts, we had the chance to score a few delicious pork chops through BzzAgent! Kroger sells a wide variety of Moist & Tender® pork cuts, and we chose some lean (boneless) pork chops for our grilling adventures. We don’t eat meat too often, but we were thrilled to have a chance to incorporate something other than chicken into our meal.
Asian Style Grilled Pork Chops
I marinated 4 pork chops with 2T minced ginger, 2T minced garlic, 2T soy sauce, 1T oil, 1T water, 2tsp rice wine vinegar and 1tsp honey. I let the chops soak up the goodness for a few hours in the fridge and then we grilled them up. Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145° F (medium rare) and 160° F (medium). Serve with a bit of chopped cilantro if desired.
We also got this nifty silicone “Pork, Be Inspired” basting brush that we used to oil our onions (grilled onions are so sweet and delicious!)
We served our chops alongside some steamed green beans and quick-pickled veggies. We loved having the opportunity to grill some yummy pork, and we’re excited to add pork to our summer grill. Not only are pork tenderloin and pork loin chops lean, but they are tender and adaptable to almost any recipe!
Here are some great sites for pork recipes:
