Asian grilled pork chops

Ingredients

• 2 pork loin steaks
• 6 tablespoons of barbecue seasoning mix
• Dried hickory pieces
• 1/4 cup of soy sauce
• 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce
• 1/2 cup of sake
• 3 tablespoons of honey
• 1 tablespoon of mirin

Remove the thin membrane from the ribs, season them with the barbecue spice blend, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Place the hickory pieces in the smoker, which has been preheated to 120 °C.

In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sake, honey, and mirin. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Place the ribs in the smoker and let them cook for 5 to 6 hours, basting them frequently with sauce.

Generously coat the meat side and place under the preheated grill until it is nicely browned, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Cut between the bones and serve.
