The Recipe

Ingredients & Instructions

Everything you need to make this dish at home.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 ears fresh corn, husked
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, deseeded and minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine bourbon, honey, and smoked paprika. Add peach slices and simmer for 10 minutes until peaches are soft and sauce thickens slightly. Remove peach slices and puree or chop finely to mix back into the sauce.
  3. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Brush both sides generously with the bourbon-peach glaze.
  4. Grill pork chops for 5-6 minutes per side, basting with more glaze, until internal temperature reaches 145°F and chops are nicely charred.
  5. While pork cooks, grill corn directly on the grate until charred in spots, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
  6. Cut charred corn off cobs and transfer to a bowl. Add red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and olive oil. Toss to combine and season with salt to taste.
  7. Serve pork chops topped with extra bourbon-peach glaze alongside the charred corn salad.
