Chinese Five Spices Pork Chops!
This is an excellent recipe that creates a mildly sweet and spicy flavor for pork chops.
- 1 or 2 - One inch to One and One Half Inch Pork Chops.
- 6 Tablespoons Teriyaki Marinade (I use "Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce")
- 1/2 teaspoon per side of Chinese Five Spice
- Garlic Powder
- Garlic Pepper (Coarse Ground Blend)
- Onion Powder
- Seasoned Salt (for a nice mildly hot pepper flavor - try "Lawry's Black Pepper Seasoned Salt". This is Lawry's regular Seasoned Salt with Cracked Black Peppers pre mixed).
- Dash of Tabasco (per side - optional)
Soak the chops in a glass dish or baking container, for 10 to 60 minutes in the Teriyaki sauce before using the dry spice. I like to pierce the meat with a fork for better absorption. One one side, lay down a nice coating of Onion Powder, top this layer with Seasoned Salt to your preference. Add a thin layer of Chinese Five Spice and wait a few minutes until the spices become moist so they adhere to the side. Turn chops and lay down a nice even coat of Garlic Powder. On top of the garlic powder coat the chop with a liberal sprinkling of Garlic Pepper. Dust this side with Chinese Five Spice (again). Marinate (covered in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Overnight is the best.
Grill chops on a single layer of ready coals If the fire is too hot and the chops begin to sear, sear first side for 1 minute, turn and sear for one more minute on the other side. Allow grill to cool to medium or cover grill. Cook for around 6-8 minutes per side. Use your barbecue's user manual or a meat thermometer to determine doneness. 160 degrees at the thickest point of the chop is recommended. Keep in mind chops will cook for a few minutes even after removed from the grill, especially if covered with foil.
This recipe has a very subtle Asian flavor that also seems blended with the typical flavor of Middle Eastern grilled meat. Try it. You will like it!
