Ingredients
•
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
•
1/2 cup ketchup
•
1/4 cup brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
•
1 clove garlic, minced
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•
cooking spray
•
4 (6 ounce) pork loin chops
•
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Stir together vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a saucepan over medium-low heat; simmer sauce for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
3
Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Pour a small amount of sauce from the saucepan into a bowl. Brush chops with sauce from the bowl. Discard any remaining sauce from the bowl.
4
Cook pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow pork chops to rest for 3 minutes. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.
