Grilled Pork Chops with Apple Pear Topping

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Pork Chops with Apple Pear Topping.

1. Step 1

   Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and combine one cup of light brown sugar with soy sauce, fresh orange juice, spicy brown mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, and ground cumin.

2. Step 2

   Give it a good stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a deliciously aromatic marinade.

3. Step 3

   Next, add your pork chops to the bowl, making sure they are thoroughly coated in that flavorful mixture.

4. Step 4

   Let them soak up all those tasty flavors at room temperature for about 45 minutes to an hour—this is where the magic happens! While the pork is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to keep everything from sticking.

5. Step 5

   Once the pork chops have marinated, take them out of the bowl, shaking off any excess marinade, and remember to discard what’s left behind.

6. Step 6

   Now it’s time to grill! Place the pork chops on the hot grill and cook them for around 8 minutes on each side, or until they’re beautifully browned and no longer pink in the center.

7. Step 7

   For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the chops while they’re grilling.

8. Step 8

   To ensure they’re perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C).

9. Step 9

   While the pork is grilling, let’s whip up a delightful side of grilled fruit.

10. Step 10

    In a large skillet, melt some butter over high heat, then stir in a tablespoon of light brown sugar and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

11. Step 11

    Bring this sweet mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

12. Step 12

    Toss in your apple and pear slices, cooking and stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until the fruit is well-coated and softened.

13. Step 13

    Once they’re ready, transfer the fruit to a grilling basket.

14. Step 14

    Grill those delicious fruit slices for about 5 minutes until they’re beautifully browned and caramelized.

15. Step 15

    Serve the grilled fruit alongside your perfectly cooked pork chops for a meal that’s not just tasty but also visually stunning.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy every bite of this delightful combination!.
