Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup ketchup
• ¾ cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 (6 ounce) pork loin chops

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Stir the balsamic vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper together in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook the sauce at a simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Brush the chops with the sauce from the saucepan.

Step 4

Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until the pork is 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). Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 3 minutes before serving with the remaining sauce on the side.
