Grilled Pork Chops with Soy-Honey Glaze

Ingredients List

• ½ cup honey

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

• 4 center-cut boneless pork chops - 1/2-inch thick

• 2 teaspoons canola oil, or as needed

• salt to taste

• 1 large sweet onion, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat your outdoor grill on high heat and lightly oil the grill grate.

2. In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the mixture in a separate bowl for later use. Brush the pork chops with canola oil on both sides and season with salt and black pepper.

3. Grill the pork chops over the hottest part of the grill until they develop a nice char, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Move the chops to a cooler part of the grill and continue cooking, basting both sides generously with the honey-soy glaze, until the pork is no longer pink inside (approximately 3 to 4 more minutes). The juices should run clear, and the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer.

4. While the pork chops are grilling, brush onion slices with oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill the onions for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they become translucent and browned. To serve, place the pork chops and grilled onions on warmed plates, and brush the chops with the reserved honey-soy glaze.

Chef's Tip

For a more kid-friendly version, simply leave out the crushed red pepper flakes.
