Ingredients

Scale

For the Marinade:

  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Pork Chops:

  • 4 boneless pork chops, approximately 1-inch thick
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the Peppercorn Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns
  • ½ cup butter
  • ¼ cup red wine
  • 4 cups brown gravy

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Pork Chops:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
    • Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
    • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and tenderize the meat.
  2. Prepare the Peppercorn Sauce:
    • In a saucepan over medium heat, toast the cracked black peppercorns for about 1½ minutes to release their aroma.
    • Add the butter to the saucepan and let it melt completely.
    • Pour in the red wine and cook until the alcohol evaporates, approximately 2-3 minutes.
    • Stir in the brown gravy and let the mixture simmer gently until fully blended and heated through. Keep the sauce warm on low heat.
  3. Grill the Pork Chops:
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
    • Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Season both sides lightly with salt. Discard the remaining marinade.
    • Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
    • Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let them rest for about 5 minutes to retain their juices.
  4. Serve:
    • Arrange the rested pork chops on serving plates. Generously spoon the warm peppercorn sauce over each chop.
    • Pair with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad, to complete the meal.

 

Notes

  • Marinating: Allowing the pork chops to marinate overnight enhances their flavor and tenderness.
  • Cooking Method: If a grill is unavailable, the pork chops can be pan-seared in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, then finished in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until they reach the desired internal temperature.
  • Peppercorn Sauce: For a creamier sauce, consider adding a splash of heavy cream during the simmering process.
