Delicious Pineapple Pork Chops Recipe for Your Dinner Table

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons scallions (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix barbecue sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt.

    Let the marinade sit for at least 15 minutes for enhanced flavor.
  2. Marinate the Pork Chops

    Place pork chops in the marinade and let them soak for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

    The longer you marinate, the more flavorful the pork will be.
  3. Heat the Grill or Pan

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.

    Ensure the grill is hot before adding the pork chops.
  4. Cook the Pork Chops

    Cook the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

    Add pineapple chunks to the grill during the last few minutes of cooking.
  5. Serve

    Remove pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

    Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds for added texture.
