• 1/2 cup julienned radishes

• dressing:

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 3 tablespoons cooking sherry

• 11/2 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  1/2 teaspoon pepper

  
  

Steps

1. Brush corn with butter. Grill corn, covered, over medium heat for 10 minutes or until lightly browned, turning and basting occasionally.

Thick Cut Coffee Crusted Pork Chops

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 Thick Cut Bone-In Pork Chops from Anoka Meats

  
  

• 2 tablespoons finely ground coffee (or instant espresso)

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 2 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Steps

1. Grill thick-cut pork chops at a medium-high heat (400°F to 450°F). This creates a crisp, caramelized crust on the outside while keeping the thick center juicy.

   
   

   Use a Two-Zone Grilling Method because thick chops take longer to cook, searing them over high heat the entire time will burn the outside before the center is done. Use these specific steps for the best results:

   
   

2. Create two heat zones on your grill. One side should be hot (direct heat) for searing, and the other side cooler (indirect heat) for gentle cooking.

3. Place the seasoned pork chops on the direct-heat side for 4 minutes per side to get good grill marks and a rich crust.

4. Move the chops to the indirect-heat side, close the lid, and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 140° F.

5. Rest for 5 minutes for temperature to reach 145° F. before serving.
