Grilled Pineapple Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops, approximately 200g (7 oz) each
• 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into rings
• 60ml (1/4 cup) soy sauce
• 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
• 30ml (2 tbsp) honey
• 30ml (2 tbsp) lime juice
• 5g (1 tsp) ground ginger
• 5g (1 tsp) garlic powder
• 5g (1 tsp) black pepper
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lime juice, ground ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are well combined, resulting in a smooth marinade.

Step 2: Marinate the Pork Chops

Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for grilling. Marinate the chops for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

Step 3: Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 200°C (400°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Grill the Pineapple

Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until you see grill marks and the pineapple becomes caramelized. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 5: Grill the Pork Chops

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F). Baste with the reserved marinade while grilling for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 6: Serve

Arrange the grilled pineapple slices on a serving platter. Place the grilled pork chops on top of the pineapple, garnishing with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors!
