Instructions

  1. 01

    Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides generously with truffle oil and coat with your favorite all-purpose seasoning. Let them rest at room temperature while you prep the grill.

  2. 02

    Set your Char-Griller Flex Fuel Grill for low and slow indirect cooking at 225°F. Place pork chops on the cooler side of the grill and smoke until internal temperature reaches 120°F, about 30–40 minutes depending on thickness.

  3. 03

    Move the pork chops to the hot side of the grill and sear over high heat for 1–2 minutes per side until a nice crust forms and internal temp reaches 140–145°F for juicy, perfectly cooked pork.

  4. 04

    While the pork chops rest, melt butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in hot honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Let simmer for 3–4 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.

  5. 05

    Brush or drizzle the hot honey garlic glaze over the pork chops and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs or chili flakes for added heat.
