Grilled Pork with Ginger

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and lime juice to create the marinade glaze.

   Tip: Make the glaze ahead of time and let flavors meld for deeper taste.

2. 2

   Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

   Tip: Dry meat helps achieve better caramelization on the grill.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

   Tip: Test grill temperature by holding your hand 4 inches above the grates for 2-3 seconds.

4. 4

   Place pork chops on the hot grill and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving them to develop a golden crust.

   Tip: Resist the urge to flip too early; let the heat do the work.

5. 5

   Flip the chops and brush generously with the ginger-soy glaze. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, brushing with more glaze halfway through.

   Tip: Add glaze during the last minutes of cooking to prevent burning.

6. 6

   Flip once more and brush the other side with remaining glaze, cooking for 2-3 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F.

   Tip: Use a meat thermometer for perfectly cooked pork every time.

7. 7

   Transfer the grilled pork chops to a serving plate and let rest for 3-4 minutes before serving.

   Tip: Resting allows juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and moist.

8. 8

   Garnish with chopped green onions and drizzle any remaining pan glaze over the top before serving.

   Tip: Fresh green onions add brightness and a sharp contrast to the rich, sweet glaze.
