MUSTARD GRILL PORK CHOP RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Trim the excess meat and fat away from the ends of the chop bones, leaving them exposed.
• Put the pork chops in a clean plastic bag and lightly sprinkle with water to prevent the meat from tearing when pounded.
• Using the smooth side of a meat mallet, pound the meat down to an even one-inch thickness, being careful not to hit the bones.
• Alternatively, have your butcher cut thinner chops and serve two per serving.
• To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
• Coat the pork chops liberally with the marinade and marinate for three hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Prepare mustard sauce.
• Put the sugar and mustard in the top of a double boiler and mix with a whisk.
• When well combined, whisk in the egg yolks and vinegar.
• Cook over simmering water, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until it is thick enough to form ribbons when drizzled from the spoon.
• Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.
• When cool, fold in the creme fraiche.
• Keep refrigerated until needed.
• Place the chops on the grill and grill for five minutes on each side, rotating them a quarter turn after two to three minutes on each side to produce nice crosshatch marks. (It's good to baste with some of the marinade as the meat cooks).
• As with all marinated meats, you want to go longer and slower on the grill vs. shorter and hotter, because if the marinated meat is charred, it may turn bitter.
• The pork is ready when it registers 139F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Offer the mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• Place the mustard, olive oil, vinegar, herbes de Provence and water in a small bowl. Whisk until emulsified, this may also be done in a blender or mini food processor, set aside.
• Trim any excess fat from the pork chops; place in a shallow bowl or pie plate and add marinade, coat thoroughly; let marinate for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature, (for marinating longer, cover and refrigerate, remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling.).
• Preheat griddle on high; when griddle is hot, allow excess marinade to drip off the chops and arrange the cops evenly spaced on the bottom grill plate. Close the grill. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes, until the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 160f degrees; do not overcook or the pork may become dry. Remove to a warm platter and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. (When grilling in the closed position it is important that the pork chops all be the same thickness for best results.).
