Thick Pork Chops With Hoisin-Black Bean Sauce

Abby Girl's Note:

These thick, moist, juicy chops can be marinated any where from 3 to 5 days, so it is a breeze to be so organized. I got this recipe from Bon Appetit, but found that there was way too much sauce needed, so I pared the recipe down and added some extras

• Total Time: 72 hrs 20 mins
• Prep Time: 72 hrs
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 ¼ cups hoisin sauce
• ¾ cup oyster sauce
• 1 cup black bean garlic sauce
• 3 garlic cloves , chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger , peeled and chopped
• ½-1 teaspoon black peppercorns , crushed
• 6 pork chops , thick cut

Directions:

1. Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Combine the pork chops in a large zip lock bag and add the sauce. Marinate 3 - 5 days. (The longer the marinade the more tender the chops become).
2. Preheat the broiler. Broil until chops are cook through (145 F), about 9 minutes per side. (or grill until the chops are cooked).
3. Option:
4. Garlic chili paste could be added to "kick it up" also
5. Note: I had changed the recipe around, but if you like a particular sauce, add more of it and less of the others. The marinating time is what makes these so juicy.
