Grilled pork chops with garlic-lime sauce

Grilled pork chops with garlic-lime sauce is a delectable dish that combines tender pork fillets with a zesty and aromatic sauce. This recipe is perfect for a quick yet impressive meal, offering a blend of spicy, tangy, and earthy flavors. With simple ingredients and easy steps, you can prepare a restaurant-quality dish right at home.

Ingredients:

1/4 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.08g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1 garlic clove
3g
1/3 cup olive oil
70g
6 pork fillet
380g
1/4 cup lime juice
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
In a small mixing bowl, combine the red pepper flakes, chopped coriander leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, and lime juice. Mix well to create a uniform marinade.
2. Marinate the Pork Chops:
Place the pork fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring that each fillet is well-coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for a richer flavor. Turn the fillets occasionally to distribute the marinade evenly.
3. Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C).
4. Grill the Pork Chops:
Remove the pork fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the fillets on the preheated grill. Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare to medium doneness. If you prefer them more well-done, cook until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
5. Rest the Pork Chops:
Once grilled, transfer the pork chops to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
6. Serve:
Serve the grilled pork chops hot, garnished with extra chopped coriander leaves if desired. Pair with your favorite side dishes such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Tips:

- Marinate the pork fillets for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

- Use fresh lime juice for a more vibrant and tangy taste.

- Make sure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops.

- To avoid overcooking, use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

- Let the grilled pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to retain their juices.

- Garnish with additional coriander leaves for a fresh and aromatic touch.

Grilled pork chops with garlic-lime sauce is a delightful and flavorful meal that's sure to impress your family and friends. The bold and zesty garlic-lime sauce perfectly complements the juicy, grilled pork fillets, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. This dish is ideal for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
