The Steak Secret: salt your steaks 1 hour before cooking for every inch of thickness. Hereâs two nice pieces of regular âol supermarket steak. Theyâre about 1.25 inches thick, so Iâll let them salt for about 1.25 hours. Season liberally with kosher salt on both sides with kosher or sea salt.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, apple juice, oil, soy sauce, ginger, salt , and pepper. Bring to boil. Combine water and cornstarch in small bowl, and whisk into brown sugar mixture. Stir until thick. Brush grate lightly with oil before placing pork chops on the grill. Cook over hot coals for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.
Pork chops do not come in a standard size. It is the thickness, not the weight, that makes the difference when grilling. For a half-inch-thick pork chop, it will take about five to seven minutes on direct high heat. High heat is around 450 degrees Fahrenheit on the grill. A three-quarters-inch thick pork chop will take around six to eight minutes on high heat. A 1-inch pork chop will cook in about eight to 10 minutes on direct medium heat. Medium heat on a grill is between 350 and 450 degrees. For a pork chop that is 1Â¼ to 1Â½ inches thick, sear each side for a total of six minutes on high heat, then finish grilling over medium heat for another four to six minutes.
