Ingredients
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- ½ cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ½ cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- 4 1-inch thick, boneless pork chops
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- 1. Stir together the onion and garlic with the juices and cilantro.
- 2. Add the pork chops so they are covered with the marinade. Cover and place in the refrigerator for about 3 hours.
- 3. When ready to grill, remove chops from the marinade, pat dry, and sprinkle evenly on both sides with the salt and pepper.
- 4. Fit the Cuisinart
- ® Griddler® with the grill plates. Turn unit on. Select Grill and set to 450°F.
- 5. Once the grill comes to temperature, place the chops on the grill in the closed position and set the count-up timer. Pork chops are done when an instant-read thermometer reads 145°F in the thickest part, about 5 minutes.
- 6. Allow the chops to rest about 5 minutes before serving.
