Maple Mustard Pulled Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the pork into 3cm thick slices, season with salt and pepper, then lightly coat in the flour (the easiest way to do this is to put the flour and seasoning in a large food bag, add the pork and shake well). Heat the oil in a large frying pan, preferably non-stick, then add the pork and quickly fry until it is browned all over. Cook the pork for about 5 mins, then remove to a plate and cover with foil while you make the sauce.
• Add the onion to the pan (with a touch more oil if needed), then quickly fry until lightly coloured, add the stock, then bring to the boil. Boil hard for a couple of minutes to reduce the stock a little, stir in the maple syrup, mustard and lemon juice, then bring back to the boil, stirring well.
• Return the pork to the pan and gently simmer for a further 3-4 mins until it is cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley, if using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir together the maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Place pork roast in a shallow roasting pan. Spread glaze evenly over pork roast.
• Roast pork in the preheated oven uncovered, until internal temperature measured with a meat thermometer reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 1 hour. Remove from oven, and let rest about 10 minutes before slicing to serve.

Steps:

• Stir together the brown sugar, pepper, salt, onion powder, and paprika in a bowl. Coat the pork chops with this mixture on both sides. Cover and place in the refrigerator 6 hours to overnight.
• Place oven rack in it's highest position. Set oven to Broil.
• Place pork chops onto a slotted, two-piece broiler pan. Stir together the maple syrup and spicy mustard. Broil pork chops for 5 minutes, then turn over, and broil for another 5 minutes. Brush the tops with the mustard glaze, and cook for 1 minute. Turn the chops over, brush again, and broil for an additional minute, or until cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Remove pork chops to serving plates and top with additional glaze, if desired.

Steps:

• Make the sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add in bacon, onion, and garlic; cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes; stir in tomato paste; cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in maple syrup, mustard, and vinegar; let the sauce simmer until thick and flavorful, about 10 minutes; taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper if needed, also more vinegar.
• You can serve the sauce hot or at room temperature; can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated, covered; bring the sauce to room temperature before serving.
• The chops: place the pork chops in a baking dish and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with the mustard powder, using about 1 teaspoon per side and rubbing it onto the meat with a fork or your fingertips.
• Drizzle the soy sauce over the chops, patting it onto the mustard with a fork to make a flavorful paste.
• Place the maple syrup and oil in a small bowl and stir to mix.
• Pour this mixture over the chops, turning to coat both sides, and let marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes.
• Set up grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
• When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate; drain the marinade from the chops and discard the marinade.
• Arrange the chops on the hot grate, placing them on a diagonal to the bars.
• Grill the chops until cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops.
• Rotate the chops a quarter turn after 2 minutes to create nice grill marks.
• When ready to turn, the chops will be nicely browned on the bottom; test for doneness with instant-read thermometer side-ways into a chop; internal temp should be about 160°.
• Transfer the grilled chops to a platter; let rest for 2 minutes.
• Serve the chops with the Maple-Mustard Barbecue Sauce.
