Ingredients
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper, crushed
1 fluid ounce white vinegar
1 ounce hoisin sauce
1 ounce sesame oil
2 6 ounces each center-cut pork chops
Directions
Combine the minced garlic, minced ginger, and crushed red pepper with the white vinegar, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil in a food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined to create the glaze.
Preheat a wood-fire grill to medium-high heat (about 350–400°F) and allow it to warm for at least 10 minutes.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each pork chop generously with the prepared glaze, reserving a small amount for basting.
Place the glazed pork chops directly on the grill grates. Cook for 6–7 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing a light char to develop.
Flip the chops and brush with the reserved glaze. Cook for another 6–7 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when measured at the thickest point with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3–5 minutes before serving. The glaze will set slightly as they rest.
