Ingredients:
Instructions:
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.
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.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C).
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).
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.
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.
