Cooking Instructions:
-
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s ready for cooking.
-
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the lime rind, lime juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, ketchup, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined to create the flavorful marinade.
-
Grill or Broil the Pork Chops:
- Place the pork chops on the preheated grill or under the broiler, cooking for approximately 15-30 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remember to flip them halfway through the cooking process to ensure even cooking on both sides.
-
Brush with Marinade:
- As the pork chops cook, generously brush them with the prepared marinade, coating each side evenly. This will infuse the chops with the tangy and sweet flavors of the marinade, creating a delicious glaze.
-
Turn and Brush Occasionally:
- Throughout the cooking process, turn the pork chops occasionally and continue brushing them with the marinade. This will help to caramelize the sugars in the marinade, creating a delightful charred exterior on the chops.
-
Serve Hot:
- Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection and have developed a beautiful caramelized crust, remove them from the grill or broiler. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in their juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
-
Garnish and Enjoy:
- Garnish the Limey Bar-B-Qued Pork Chops with some freshly chopped cilantro or a sprinkle of lime zest for an extra burst of flavor and vibrant presentation. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a crisp salad, and enjoy the deliciousness of this flavorful dish!
