Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pork chops (boneless, approximately 1-inch thick)
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup (60 ml) soy sauce
- 2 tbsps lemon juice
- ½ cup (115 g) butter
- 2 tbsps cracked black peppercorns
- ¼ cup red wine
- 4 cups brown gravy
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Marination Magic: Whisk vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper into a harmonious blend. Submerge pork chops completely in the liquid marinade, ensuring every surface is coated. Refrigerate for minimum 2 hours or ideally overnight to intensify flavor absorption.
- Peppercorn Sauce Creation: Toast cracked black peppercorns in a saucepan until fragrant. Introduce melted butter, deglaze with red wine, allowing alcohol to evaporate. Incorporate brown gravy and simmer until smoothly integrated, maintaining low heat to keep warm.
- Grilling Performance: Ignite grill to medium-high temperature (375-400F). Extract pork chops from marinade, discarding excess liquid. Season lightly with salt. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes, achieving perfect caramelization and reaching internal temperature of 145F. After cooking, let chops rest under foil for 5 minutes to seal in succulent juices.
- Elegant Presentation: Transfer rested pork chops to serving plates. Lavish each chop with warm peppercorn sauce. Complement with complementary sides like creamy mashed potatoes, vibrant steamed vegetables, or crisp salad for a complete culinary experience.
Notes
- Let pork chops absorb marinade for maximum flavor, keeping them in the refrigerator between 2-8 hours to prevent meat from becoming too soft or tough.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness precisely, removing chops at 140-145°F to prevent overcooking and maintain juicy texture.
- Clean and oil grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking, maintaining medium-high heat for perfect sear and even cooking.
- Adjust peppercorn sauce thickness by simmering longer for a richer reduction or adding beef broth if too thick, matching personal preference.
