Chargrilled Pork Chop Sandwich Recipe

Chargrilled Pork Chop Sandwich Recipe

This recipe is great for a quick grilling session during the hot summer months – and this recipe makes one delicious Chargrilled Pork Chop Sandwich. I start with extra thick boneless pork chops cut from the center section of a pork loin roast. You want the chops about 2” thick to start. Butterfly each chop with a sharp knife taking care not to cut the chop all the way in half. Press the butterflied chop out flat on a cutting board and hit it with a jacquard meat tenderizer…This step makes it extra tender. Next take a gallon size zip top bag and split each side down the seam. Place the bag on the cutting board and lay the tenderized chop between the layers of the split bag. Use a meat mallet or heavy rolling pin to pound the chop out flat. It should be about a 1/4” at this point. Repeat these steps for all four chops. Fire up a charcoal grill with Royal Oak briquettes. When the coals are good and hot pour them to one side of the grill creating a two zone cooking environment. Place the cooking grate over the coals and allow the grill to come up to 450-500 degrees. Season each chop with a good dose of Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub followed by a light coat of Killer Hogs Steak Rub for texture. You can substitute your favorite bbq seasoning here if you wish. Place the chops over the hot zone of the grill and cook for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes before flipping. The goal here is to sear/char the thin chops without over cooking them. After flipping start basting each chop with Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce. Continue to flip and baste each side every couple of minutes until both sides are char grilled and sticky. If the grill gets too hot you have the cool side to move the chops to slow it down. You’ll want to stay with these thin chops because it’s easy to burn them. Don’t walk away and it should take about 8 total minutes to on the grill. Once the chops are ready remove them from the grill and rest for 5-7 minutes. This is when I break out the cast iron skillet and grill some thin onion. Slice one vidalia sweet onion super thin. Place an iron skillet on the hot side of the grill and add 2 Tablespoons of butter. As it starts to melt add the thinly sliced onion and season with a pinch of Killer Hogs Steak Rub. Grill the onions in the iron skillet for about 5 minutes or until they’re soft. Slide the iron skillet over to the cool side and grill the buns for 30 seconds right over the hot coals. Then it’s time to build the Char Grilled Chop Sandwich. Lay the bottom bun on the cutting board or plate. Layer thinly sliced dill pickle chips on the bottom bun. Place one of the char grilled chops over the pickles and I like to add a good extra drizzle of The BBQ Sauce so it gets real messy! Pile up some of the grilled onions on top of the chop followed by a few crispy jalapeño chips for some crunch and added heat. Place the top bun over all of it and dig in! This is one Summer Sandwich I can get down on!! Print Malcom Reed Connect on Facebook Follow me on Twitter Subscribe to my YouTube Channel Follow me on Instagram
