Bourbon Peach Sauce

Grilled Pork Chops

  • 1
    Turn all burners on gas grill to high, cover, and heat until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave primary burner on high and turn other burners to medium.
  • 2
    Combine brown sugar, ginger, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pat pork chops dry and coat all over with sugar mixture. Oil grates and place chops on hot side of grill. Cook 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned on both sides.
  • 3
    Move to cooler side of grill and brush with melted butter. Continue to cook, turning once and brushing with more butter, until an instant read thermometer registers 145°F when inserted into the center of the chop, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and spoon warm bourbon peach sauce over the meat.
