Whiskey Miso Pork Chops

These chops are marinated in a whiskey-miso sauce overnight (or even just 15 minutes if you’re in a hurry).

This is a recipe that I’ve created for client, Miso & Easy – here’s the entire collection of miso recipes. You can either use their easy-to-use miso or any regular miso paste that you find at the store.

Both the miso and the apple cider vinegar in the marinade tenderizes the pork chop. The salt/sugar in the miso acts like a brine; And the apple cider vinegar helps break down the toughness. The same marinade is cooked with the pork chop and makes a lovely sauce as well.

The ingredients are simple:

And the results are amazing:

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1/2 cup whiskey
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons miso paste (or 3 tablespoons Miso & Easy)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
• 4 pork chops, about 1-inch thick
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Instructions

 

• In a sealable bag, combine the whiskey, apple cider, miso, brown sugar and mustard. Add the pork chops, seal the bag and squeeze out as much air as possible. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to overnight.
• When ready to cook, remove the pork chops from the bag. Wipe off marinade from pork chop, reserving as much of the marinade as possible in the bag.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Swirl in the cooking oil. Add in the pork chops and cook for 2 minutes. Flip the pork chops then pour in the reserved remaining marinade from the bag into the pan. Turn the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook for 5 minutes (if your pork chops are thinner than 1" please cut time to 3-4 minutes) or until the pork chops are 145F in the middle, or just barely pink. Let rest for 3 minutes on counter.
• Top with parsley. Serve with the whiskey miso sauce from the pan.
