Grilled Pork Cutlets Recipes

GRILLED PORK CUTLETS WITH MAPLE CHIPOTLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat your grill. In a small saucepan, bring the first four glaze ingredients to a boil.
• In a small jar, mix together the cornstarch and water. Put the lid on and shake vigorously (it should have the consistency of whole milk).
• Pour the cornstarch slurry into the boiling glaze mixture and reduce to a simmer. Cook about 2 minutes until it becomes clear and thickens.
• Season the cutlets with salt and pepper and brush with a little oil.
• Grill cutlets 3 to 5 minutes per side, brushing glaze on while cooking.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN CUTLETS WITH CHILI MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• In a bowl large enough to hold pork covered with water stir together salt and water until salt is dissolved and add pork, making sure it is completely covered by brine. Marinate pork, covered and chilled, 1 day.
• Prepare grill.
• In a small bowl stir together syrup and chili powder. Discard brine and diagonally cut pork into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Put pork between sheets of plastic wrap and flatten with a rolling pin to make 1/4-inch-thick cutlets. Pat pork dry and season with salt.
• Grill pork on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Brush pork with glaze and grill 15 seconds more on each side. (Alternatively, pork may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)

GRILLED PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• 1. Put cutlets in a large zip top bag.
• 2. Combine marinade ingredients and pour over cutlets in the bag. Refrigerate for for several hours mixing the bag around every so often. I like to do this for at least a day.
• 3. Drain cutlets after marinading and reserve juice if desired (suggestion later). Thread cutlets on skewers by size for outdoor grill. This is not necessary but makes them easier to turn. I do not do this for my countertop grill.
• 4. Grill cutlets for a couple of minutes on each side until done. (Larger ones may take another minute or two.) Serve with fried rice and a side salad.
• 5. I have also done these as an appetizer using the marinade. Simmer leftover marinade for a few minutes and strain if needed. Place grilled cutlets in a crockpot and pour marinade over them. Hold on low for a few hours.

BEST GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix water, soy sauce, vegetable oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and minced garlic in a deep bowl; add pork chops and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Trim the chops of excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet (if you have a smaller one, you'll need to work in batches) over high heat, and then swirl in the olive oil. Lay in the pork chops and don't move them for a few minutes, to assure a good golden sear forms. Turn and brown well on the second side for a total of about 10 minutes. Transfer the chops to a warm plate.
• Swirl the butter into the pan. Add the onion and apples. Saute until the onion slices are lightly caramelized and the apples have begun to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the beer or other liquid. Return chops to the pan.
• Cook until the pork is tender, about 15 more minutes (depending on the size of the chops), turning halfway through and covering the chops with the apple mixture. If the apple mixture needs a little thickening, transfer the chops to the warm plate again and simmer the mixture on high for a few minutes to reduce. Serve the chops over rice or mashed potatoes with a large spoonful of the apple-onion mixture over the top.
