Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (8-oz) French bone-in pork chops
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp gochujang paste
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2-1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
- 1/2 C fresh orange juice
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, onion, red pepper, fire-roasted tomatoes, gochujang, honey, sugar, crushed red pepper, and orange juice. Heat over medium-low, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly (like barbecue sauce). Remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 135°F, turning once halfway through cooking (cooking time will vary depending on thickness).
- Brush the cooled sauce generously over both sides of the chops. Continue grilling, flipping often, until the glaze caramelizes and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Transfer to a plate and let rest for 3 minutes before cutting. Spoon extra glaze over the top and serve with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans.
Notes
- For extra flavor: marinate the pork chops in a few tablespoons of the glaze for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Double the sauce if you'd like extra glaze for drizzling over the mashed potatoes or vegetables.
- The gochujang glaze also works beautifully on chicken, shrimp or salmon for an easy weeknight variation.
