Ingredients

  • 4 thick cut bone in pork chops
  • 1 T. oil to coat the pork chops
  • Steak Seasoning Blend I used Fiesta steak seasoning see note*
  • 1/4 c. pioncillo or brown sugar
  • 1 t. chili powder
  • FOR HONEY:
  • 4 oz. butter
  • 1 c. honey
  • 1 T. red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/4 t. cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 t. kosher salt
  • 1 whole clove
  • Charcoal for your grill

Instructions

  • For the pork chops, dry them of any moisture with a paper towel and coat them with a little oil to help the seasoning stick.
  • Make the pork chop rub by combining in a bowl 2 T steak seasoning (I used Fiesta brand), 1/4 c. grated pioncillo sugar or brown sugar, and 1 t. chili powder.
  • Prepare the charcoal grill. Start the charcoal, I used 5-6 large chunks of mesquite charcoal made by barbecue and grilling favorite, BBCharcoal. You can use any blend of charcoal you like, just use plenty of it so you can get a good sear.
  • When the charcoal is beginning to gray over and you can hold the palm of your hand over the coals for at least 3 seconds without pulling it away, the charcoal is ready to begin grilling. Make sure to clean your grill with a grill brush for best flavor.
  • I place the ingredients for the hot honey butter in a cast iron pot right on my grill to melt and marry the flavors together. This can also be done over medium heat in a small sauce pan and the sauce can be brought out when you're ready to glaze the pork chops.
  • Place the pork chops on the grill grate. Cover with the grill lid. Cook 4 min, flip, coat with honey sauce using a grill brush. Cover with the grill lid, cook an additional 4-5 minutes, or until a temperature probe registers 145 degrees.
  • Use extra glaze to coat the pork chops if desired. Remove to a plate and let them rest 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Steak Seasoning can be made from scratch. Just use a generous sprinkling of onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper if steak seasoning is not available.
