Grilled Pork Chops with Bourbon Butter Glaze

Grilled Pork Chops with Bourbon Butter Glaze

The big secret to these chops is using a set of GrillGrates. These grates are designed to even out heat and produce sear marks without the flare ups. Chefs have been using similar grates in steak houses for a long time, and now you can duplicate the same style right at home.

Lightly spray the GrillGrates with cooking spray and lay each chop on the direct heat side of the grill. If you’re doing multiple chops work in batches. Set a timer for 2 minutes then twist the chops 90⁰ and cook an additional 2 minutes.

Now flip the chops over and move to the indirect side of the grill. By doing this, we slow down the cook in order for the chops to cook more even. It’ll take another 10-15 minutes, and you’ll need a good instant read thermometer to judge doneness.

The chops are finished with a Bourbon Butter glaze, here’s the recipe:

Bourbon Butter Glaze:
– ½ stick Salted Butter
– ¼ cup Brown Sugar
– ¼ cup Honey
– 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
– 1 shot of Kentucky Bourbon

In a small sauce pot over medium heat add butter, brown sugar, honey, bourbon, and Dijon mustard. Stir until combined and reduce by half about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

When the chops hit 130 internal, move each one to the direct heat side of the grill and baste with the glaze. Continue grilling for 2-3 minutes or until the internal temperature hits 135⁰ for medium doneness. (cook it longer if you want it more done). Then rest each one for 5 minutes before serving.

These Chops are good enough to be on the menu at any steak house; you’ll want to give this recipe a try!
