We don't eat a lot of pork around our house. My husband doesn't like anything with bones, and pork is so easy to overcook and make too dry. I made up this recipe for marinated pork chops (boneless, of course) that is out of this world full of flavor, and soooo tender and juicy, and the whole thing takes about 20 minutes from start to finish! (the name Pu Pu comes from a chicken recipe I make using a similar marinade, and NO, it isn't like Poo Poo!)
1 2-3 lb. Pork Loin Roast, Center Cut
1/2 C. Soy Sauce (I used low sodium and it tasted great!)
1/2 C. Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
*1 Tsp. Salt( needed ONLY if using low sodium soy sauce)
Prepare pork loin. Cut roast into 1" slices (will get about 6 from the roast). Pound out each cutlet until about half the thickness. Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, olive oil and salt in a bowl. Place pieces of pork in a shallow baking dish or bowl and pour sauce over the top. Turn pieces of meat until fully coated. Cover with plastic and let sit for about 10 minutes. While waiting for meat to marinate, preheat your grill. (I used a gas grill outside.)
On medium high heat, place each cutlet on the grill and close lid. Cook on each side about 5 minutes. (When meat is done it will no longer be pink inside, but don't cook too long or it will get tough.)
When finished, to keep your meet nice and tenter place on plate and cover with foil for a few minutes to let the juices soak in before serving.
Great with fried rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a nice asian salad!
