Preparation
-
Prepare the BBQ Marinade:
In a bowl, mix banana ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, calamansi juice, black pepper, and cooking oil until well combined. -
Marinate the Pork Chops:
Place the TenderBites BBQ Chops in a shallow container and pour the marinade over the meat. Turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor. -
Cook the Pork Chops:
- Pan-Grill Method: Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, basting occasionally with leftover marinade mixed with water.
- Outdoor Grill: Grill over medium heat, turning once, until the chops are cooked through and nicely caramelized.
-
Rest and Serve:
Remove from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon extra glaze over the top if desired.
Cooking Tips
- Avoid overcooking: Pork chops stay juicy when cooked just until firm but still moist in the center.
- Better caramelization: Brush the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
- Optional smoky note: Add a pinch of smoked paprika to the marinade for deeper flavor.
- Serving ideas: Pair with garlic rice, grilled vegetables, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
