boneless lemon Dijon Pork Chops
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
4 boneless pork loin chops, about ¾-inch thick
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt, to taste
Coarsely ground black pepper, to taste
¼ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon minced garlic
Method:
Remove pork chops from refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to grilling.
Insert the removable plates into the grill, choosing the side with the grill
grates. Turn the Position Control Knob to "Closed" and the Temperature
Control Knob to 400°f. The Ready light will illuminate as soon as the grill
is preheated.
While the grill is preheating, brush the pork chops with olive oil. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Set aside. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine
melted butter, lemon peel, Dijon mustard, and garlic.
Open the grill and insert the pork chops. Pull the handle down firmly
sandwiching the chops between the grill grates. Grill for 5 minutes.
Open the grill and brush the chops generously with the butter mixture.
Close the lid and grill for 2 more minutes or until chops reach 145°F
(medium-rare), 160°F (medium), or the desired level of doneness. Remove
with a heat resistant nonmetal utensil and serve warm.
