These marinated Mongolian pork chops can be cooked any way you like, but for the true experience, you will want to cook these on a charcoal grill. For me, it's the smokiness that brings all these flavors together.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups hoisin sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground white pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 , 10 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make marinade: Combine hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, red wine vinegar, rice vinegar, sherry vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, hot sauce, white pepper, and black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly until combined.

  2. 2

    Place pork chops in a resealable plastic freezer bag; pour slightly more than 1/2 of the marinade into the freezer bag over pork chops. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. Reserve remaining marinade.

  3. 3

    Make sauce: Combine red wine vinegar, sugar, mustard powder, and egg yolk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, turmeric, and cayenne pepper until combined. Refrigerate sauce until needed.

  4. 4

    Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.

  5. 5

    Remove pork chops from marinade; pat dry with paper towels. Discard used marinade.

  6. 6

    Cook pork chops on the preheated grill until brown grill marks appear, about 4 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Move pork chops to indirect medium heat and continue cooking, brushing reserved marinade on each side, until no longer pink inside, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

  8. 8

    Serve pork chops topped with mustard sauce.
