Make
- Divide sauce in half. Brush maple syrup mixture over one side of pork chop and sprinkle with a bit more salt.
- Grill pan directions: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush pan with cooking oil, and then add pork chops. Sear on both sides for 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium, cover with foil, and cook for another 1 to 3 minutes, until pork reaches 145F (73C) degrees.
- Grill directions: Preheat grill to 400F (204C) degrees, keeping one part on higher heat and another part on lower heat. Clean & oil grates and add pork chops to higher heat part. Sear on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes and then move to lower heat. Cook until 145F (73C) degrees, about another minute or two.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, slice, and then drizzle with remainder of the sauce (that hasn't touched raw meat!).
- Whisk together balsamic, maple syrup, and oil. Season to taste with salt & pepper. For more vinaigrette ideas, check out this video.
