Basting chops with this tangy sauce makes them extremely tender and savory. My family requests this dish for the terrific taste. I make it for them often because it's on the lighter side. —Lynette Randleman of Buffalo, Wyoming
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 cup sherry or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 3/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 4 bone-in pork loin chop (6 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
- In a large saucepan, cook ginger and garlic in oil for 1 minute; remove from the heat. Stir in the sherry or broth, honey, soy sauce, sesame seeds, orange zest and hot pepper sauce. Pour 1/2 cup into a small bowl; set aside. Pour remaining marinade into a large bowl; add pork chops. Turn to coat; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; add reserved marinade. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened.
- Drain and discard marinade from pork. On a lightly oiled grill rack, grill chops, covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side; basting occasionally with sauce or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with remaining sauce.
