My mom gave me this recipe years ago (I think that she found it in the newspaper) and it is my favorite! I usually have all the ingredients on hand, so it's super easy to throw together. I have never had such a delicious and tender grilled pork chop before I tried this recipe!
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 T vegetable oil
2 T green onion
1 t curry powder
Mix all ingredients together. Add 4-6 pork chops (I usually place the marinade and meat together in a ziploc bag, then put the bag into a bowl). Marinate in the fridge for 6-8 hours (or even overnight). Grill and enjoy!
Can you fry pork tenderloin with this marinade? I use EVOO and butter with my pork stuffs.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of pork do you grill? Every time I grill pork it turns out dry.
ReplyDeleteI just buy regular pork chops from the grocery store . . . nothing fancy! I think that the secret is the marinade . . . this marinade keeps them so tender and moist!
DeleteCan these be put in the oven and if so how long should i put them in for so they are juicy and tender and not dry?
ReplyDeleteI struggle with baking pork chops and not having them dry out. I have only ever tried this as a marinade and then grilled them and I am not sure it would work if you baked them in an oven. Sorry about that!
DeleteHow many chops does this marinade work for? Should I double or triple for 12 small
ReplyDeleteCenter cut chops
DeleteI would double the recipe for 12 small chops and it should work perfectly! :)
Deleteis that 1 teaspoon of curry powder or 1 tablespoon? These sound delicious and want to make these for dinner tomorrow..

DeleteThe best way to prepare pork chops to keep them from drying out is either grilling them. Or you take a cast iron skillet. Heat it to medium high with some oil. Let the pork chop sear 1-2 min each side so they have a nice crust. Then throw them in a 350F oven for 5 min on each side. Perfect chops every time. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso works for chicken too
ReplyDeleteI broil my pork chops...electric oven. Broil on high, lower rack to start for 6 minutes on each side then move to top rack and 3 minutes on each side. Make a foil snake to hold oven door slightly open. Perfect every time. I adapted Alton Browns broiler steak recipe. I am sure it would work with this recipe. These sound delicious. Going to try them tonight!
ReplyDeleteThese are so good cooked this way they don't dry out. I was surprised and had a hard time convincing myself that they were done because they were so moist.
DeleteI just put this together for dinner tonight and was wondering what you serve it with typically? It seems like more of an asian marinade than I was expecting so I'm not sure! So tasty though....can't wait to eat them!
ReplyDeleteWe usually have it with a pasta salad or potato salad.
DeleteWhat is chili sauce and kind of chili sauce do you use?
ReplyDeleteChili sauce is basically ketchup with a kick! You find it right by the ketchup. Heinz makes it, and it also comes in the store brands. Either will work great.
