Mustards Grill’S Mongolian Pork Chop – Video No. 700 Was All Me

Every i time inwards a while, I post service a recipe that I’ve received precisely null requests for, as well as this gorgeous Mongolian pork chop is the most recent event – sort of ironic, considering this is video 700, as well as I’m celebrating the milestone past times going rogue! 

While 95% of the videos y'all run into are inspired past times actual “food wishes,” sometimes I’ll cry upward something therefore delicious, I just accept to add together it to the library.

One of my favorite restaurants anywhere is Mustards Grill, located inwards California's beautiful Napa Valley. Mustards is owned as well as operated past times chef Cindy Pawlcyn, as well as for decades has been serving the best variety of novel American comfort fare. While I beloved all the food, the standout dish is their famous Mongolian pork chop.

This is my slightly simplified version, but all the same rattling roughly what you’d experience at Mustards. She adds a piffling dark-green onion to the marinade, as well as I would’ve also, had I non forgotten it at the market. She besides puts a impact of cilantro inwards the mix, but I prefer to role it freshly chopped to garnish the mutual frigidity mustard sauce (something I should accept mentioned inwards the video, but did add together to the constituent list).

Once marinated, these pork chops tin hold upward cooked whatever means y'all like, but for the truthful experience, you’re going to desire to laid upward these on a charcoal grill. For me, it’s the smokiness that brings all these flavors together, but pay especial attending to my warnings close lead high-heat.

Once the chops are marked amongst magazine-quality lines straight over the white-hot coals, I opened upward the grate as well as force the charcoal away from the middle of the grill, therefore that the meat as well as flammable marinade isn’t straight over the intense heat. This ensures all that delicious smokiness, amongst none of that annoying, “Hey, Honey, I intend the pork chops are on fire.”

Anyway, if y'all e'er uncovering yourself inwards Napa Valley, I highly recommend y'all halt inwards to Mustards as well as relish this groovy American treasure. But, if that’s non possible, or y'all only can’t wait, as well as then scope this a endeavour soon. Enjoy!
