Asian Inspired Pork Chops

I promised yesterday I would share when I decided what we were going to have for dinner.  We ended up with grilled pork chops.  Scott is so plain, he had just a normal grilled pork chop.  Pickles and I walked on the Asian side and had our pork chops marinated in a apricot, ginger and garlic concoction. I must say, they were fabulous! Pickles loved them, and wanted more.  I used center cut bone-in chops.  We love grilled chops with the bone-in.  They seem to be much moister after they are grilled. These were in the freezer, and I lucked out finding them in the reduced bin at Kroger a few weeks ago.  I love when I can score on cheap meat!   I hope you enjoy these as much as we did!

Asian Grilled Pork Chops

1 tablespoon spicy mustard
1 tablespoon apricot preserves
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
4 to 5 bone in pork chops

Whisk all ingredients in a medium bowl until combined. Place chops in a zip top bag.  Pour marinate over chops, and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer.  Remove chops from marinate, and place on a warm grill. Discard marinate. Grill until desired degree of doneness. We like ours medium well, but don't overcook, as they will be tough. Enjoy with your favorite sides.
