Today I was at the new Crest Foods store on the south side of Oklahoma City giving away coupons and free pork chop sandwiches - but more importantly... I was learning how to COOK pork chop sandwiches!
Thanks to the boss man - I think I'll be able to grill them on my own from now on. Look at that set up - it's the calm before the storm.
We were cooking pork chops that were cut about 1" thick and then ran through the tenderizer machine. The tenderizer gives the meat a textured look & does what it says - tenderizes the meat. (Also, those are not my hairy arms - I'm the one behind the camera in this picture)
Because we were cooking a large quantity the meat department did this part for us. If you're only cooking a few at home you can use that hammer your grandma keeps in the drawer by the stove. You know, the square one. :-)
We used Dales Marinade, which can be purchased at your local grocery store - or a marinade of your choice is fine. We let the meat soak in the marinade for about 15 minutes total.
Prepare a medium-hot fire in charcoal or preheat gas grill to medium high. Pat chops dry and grill over a medium-hot fire, turning once, until just done, about 8 to 11 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F.
Just look at those chops! You're hungry now aren't you?
We had a few fine folks stop by today.
These guys took a whole bag of chops back to the fire station!
Here's the recipe recap:
1. Tenderize your pork chops. Either at home, or at the meat counter when your purchase your pork.
2. Marinate pork chops in a marinade of your choosing.
3. Grill over a medium - high heat for 8 - 11 minutes, or until internal temperature is 155 degrees F.
4. Put between 2 slices of bread.
5. Enjoy
I remember that hammer that you are talking about! I love your simple grilling recipe!
