Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 4 boneless pork chops, approximately 1-inch thick
Marinade Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup (60 ml) soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt, to taste
Sauce and Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter for pork chops
- 2 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns
- ½ cup (113 grams) butter for sauce
- ¼ cup (60 ml) red wine
- 4 cups brown gravy
Instructions
- Craft a robust marinade by whisking together vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until thoroughly integrated.
- Submerge pork chops completely in the marinade, ensuring every surface is coated. Seal tightly and refrigerate for 2-8 hours to allow flavor penetration and meat tenderization.
- Remove pork chops from refrigeration 30 minutes prior to cooking, allowing them to reach room temperature for even grilling.
- Heat grill to medium-high temperature, cleaning and lightly oiling grates to prevent meat from sticking.
- Drain excess marinade from pork chops and gently pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt on both sides.
- Position pork chops on preheated grill, cooking approximately 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145F, achieving a perfect medium doneness.
- While grilling, prepare peppercorn sauce by toasting cracked black peppercorns in a saucepan until fragrant.
- Add butter to peppercorns, allowing complete melting. Pour red wine and simmer until alcohol evaporates.
- Incorporate brown gravy into the sauce, stirring continuously and maintaining a gentle heat.
- Once pork chops are grilled, transfer to a resting plate and cover with aluminum foil for 5 minutes to preserve juiciness.
- Plate the pork chops and lavishly drizzle warm peppercorn sauce over each piece.
- Complement the dish with complementary sides like creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp garden salad.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by marinating pork chops overnight, allowing the mixture to deeply penetrate and tenderize the meat.
- Select thick-cut bone-in pork chops for juicier results, ensuring they remain succulent during grilling.
- Control heat carefully while grilling to prevent burning, watching for perfect caramelization without charring the exterior.
- Customize the marinade by experimenting with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for unique flavor profiles.
