Our Tips
Chef's tips for making this recipe
Perfect Temperature : For ideal cooking, use a meat thermometer. The recommended internal temperature for pork is 63 °C (145 °F), followed by a few minutes of rest.
Essential Rest : A 30-minute rest before cooking allows the salt to penetrate the meat and tenderize it naturally. Do not skip this step!
Hot BBQ : Searing at high heat caramelizes the mustard and garlic, creating a savory crust without drying out the meat.
Turn only once : To prevent the meat from losing its juices, turn the pork chops only once during cooking.
Honey Mustard : For a sweet and salty touch, replace Dijon mustard with honey mustard. It will caramelize even more during cooking.
Roasted or confit garlic : Want a softer flavor? Use roasted or confit garlic instead of raw garlic.
Homemade Smoke : Add wood chips (maple, apple, or hickory) to your grill for a homemade smoky flavor.
Spicy Version : Add a bit of Sriracha sauce or strong mustard to the mixture for a spicier version.
Fresh Herbs : A pinch of fresh rosemary or thyme at the end will enhance the richness of the dish.
