Smoking Egg

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless center-cut pork chops
  • ¾ cup bourbon
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoons pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • ¼ cup chicken stock
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine bourbon, brown sugar, garlic, vinegar, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard.
  2. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat to allow the glaze to thicken.
  3. Set the EGG for direct cooking at 350°F/177°C.
  4. Tenderize the pork chops with a meat tenderizer, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  5. Heat a cast iron griddle on the EGG and brush with canola oil.
  6. Add the pork chops and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Slowly pour the chicken stock over the chops, close the bottom and top vents, and let them cook for about 10 minutes, until the desired internal temperature is reached.
  8. Once finished, pour the bourbon glaze over the pork chops, sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.
