PREPARATION

  • Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill over a medium-high flame (200°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Perfectly dry the pork chop: Pat the pork chop dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring better caramelisation.
  • Make the glaze: Prepare the glaze by mixing Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
  • Covering of pork chop: Coat the pork chop evenly with the glaze, ensuring it is well-covered on both sides. Let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavours.
  • Place the pork chop on the grill: Place the pork chop on the grill and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once. Use tongs to avoid piercing the meat.
  • Check when ready: Check when ready by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for a juicy texture. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve immediately: Serve immediately garnished with fresh herbs or an extra drizzle of maple glaze optionally.

TIPS

Here are some tips for Maple Dijon Glazed Grilled Pork Chops:

  • Custom a meat thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to a safe yet juicy temperature.
  • Let the pork rest: Let the pork rest before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, enhancing tenderness.
  • Correct sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by increasing or reducing the maple syrup based on personal preference.
  • For extra flavour: For additional flavour, marinate the pork chop for up to 2 hours before grilling.

VARIATIONS

  • Keto-Friendly: Substitute maple syrup with a sugar-free alternative to reduce carbs.
  • Spicy Kick: Add ¼ tsp cayenne pepper or red chilli flakes for a spicier glaze.
  • Herb-Infused: Mix in fresh thyme or rosemary to the glaze for an aromatic twist.
  • Balsamic Blend: Swap maple syrup with balsamic reduction for a tangy, rich glaze.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap grilled pork chops tightly in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheating: Warm gently in a pan over low heat or in the oven at 150°C for 10 minutes to retain moisture.
