Best Recipe for Grilled Thick Cut Pork Chops with Summer Salsa
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for grill grate
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4, 1 1/2-inches thick double-cut bone-in pork loin chops (about 1 pound each)
- 2 large ripe peaches, quartered and pit removed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or mint)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- For the pork: Preheat a grill to medium and lightly oil the grate. In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons kosher salt, chili powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Divide mixture evenly among chops and rub all over.
- Place the chops on hot grate over the flame and grill until marked and cooked halfway through, about 10 minutes. Turn the chops and move to a cooler area of the grill; cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Transfer chops to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes.
- For the salsa: Meanwhile, brush the peach quarters with 1 teaspoon oil and place on the grill until marked and softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Roughly chop the peaches, about 3/4-inch pieces, and place in a medium bowl along with the tomatoes and red onion. Add 1/4 teaspoon zest to the bowl along with the lime juice, about 4 teaspoons. Add the herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the chops with the salsa.
