Instructions
- For the Grilled Pork Chops, mix Marinade Mix, oil, orange juice and vinegar in small bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons marinade for brushing. Place pork chops in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish. Add remaining marinade; turn to coat well. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
- For the Pineapple Salsa, mix pineapple, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper and orange juice in small bowl. Cover and set aside.
- Remove pork chops from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Grill pork chops over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes per side or until desired doneness, brushing with reserved marinade halfway through cooking. Serve pork chops with Pineapple Salsa.
Reverse Sear Method for pork chops thicker than 1 inch: Prepare grill for indirect medium heat (350°F to 375°F). Preheat grill by turning all burners to medium. Turn off burner(s) on one side of grill. Grill pork chops over unlit side, with grill covered, to internal temperature of 135°F to 140°F. Move pork chops to lit side of grill. Grill until pork chops are nicely charred and desired doneness (At internal temperature of 145°F, pork chops will be cooked through and a little pink inside. You may prefer to cook a little longer, however try not to exceed internal temperature of 160°F or pork will be overcooked.) Let stand 5 minutes.
