Another
hard time in the life of our four legged kids - Romeo lays on his back way more
than any dog we’ve had.
Ever have those days when you are only running about half speed? This was one of those for me so I
wanted a quick easy recipe for grilled pork chops and found this one at Diethood
– I wanted to grill on this last pretty day for a while but didn’t want to put a lot of effort into it.
Honey
Soy Grilled Pork Chops
Ingredients:
1/4
cup organic honey
1 to
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2
tablespoons vegetable oil
1
tablespoon white vinegar
4
bone-in pork chops – about ¾“ thick
Instructions:
1. Sprinkle
both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and place in a large
resealable bag.
2. In a
small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, oil, and white vinegar; whisk until
thoroughly incorporated.
3. Add
the prepared honey mixture to the pork chops; seal the bag and let stand 1
hour.
4. When
ready to cook, preheat the grill.
5. Remove
the pork chops from the bag and place on the grill; cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or
until the pork chop easily releases from the grill.
6. Flip
and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, or until internal temperature reaches
140F.
7. You
can also make these pork chops in a grill pan set over medium-high heat, or a
nonstick skillet.
Honey
Soy Root Vegetables
I
had the bulb part of a butternut squash and one parsnip left from our stew and thought
the pork marinade might work well with them so I cut them into bite sized
pieces and par-boiled until tender. I
melted ½ stick of butter in a skillet and after putting the chops on the grill,
I added the remaining marinade in the bag to the butter followed by the veggies. I only cooked them long enough to become
reheated and tossed them several times to coat with the butter mixture.
I
thought the meal turned out very good (chops cooked just right at 140F) but Bev
said the chops needed a little more umph – maybe some heat, more soy sauce, or
perhaps some ginger. I thought the
veggies were the best part of the meal and would use the marinade again for
them even if no meat was involved. I
believe it would work well for any sweet vegetable desires such as carrots,
sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, etc. A
sprinkle of your favorite spice such as cinnamon, nutmeg, etc might also be in
order for your taste.

Sounds like another easy tasty meal on the grill plus the veggies to go with it.
ReplyDeleteNice grill marks.
ReplyDeleteYour idea of an easy dinner and mine are sooo different. Mine would be a bowl of cereal. lol
ReplyDeleteYUM. I bet ginger would have added a bit of zing to the chops - I love honey & soy together. I think the whole meal looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteI never thought to marinate the veggies that way - I bet it was tasty!
ReplyDeleteI've never thought to marinate veggies - great idea. I bet they were good. And those pork chops! They look so good. And those dogs! They look so spoiled. :) My gosh that little Romeo is too adorable.
ReplyDeleteLarry, As you would expect, I'm probably with Bev on the extra something with the pork chops...but those vegetables look absolutely luscious! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
