How to make Grilled pork chops with pineapple-turmeric glaze

1. Prepare the grill for high indirect heat: for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off; for a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side. Oil the grate.

2. In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, honey, vinegar, mustard, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and turmeric. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, swirling occasionally, until reduced to 180 ml (3/4 cup), about 10–15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. Transfer half of the sauce to a small bowl and set aside for serving.

4. Season the pork chops with salt. Grill over direct heat until browned all over, about 3 minutes per side.

5. Continue grilling, turning several times and basting with the remaining sauce, until charred and coated with a thick layer of glaze, about 4 minutes.

6. Move the pork chops to the cooler part of the grill and check the internal temperature. If needed, continue grilling over indirect heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone registers 55°C (130°F), about 1–4 minutes more.

7. Transfer the pork chops to a wire rack and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

8. Serve the pork chops with the reserved sauce alongside.
