Category: Pork - Chops and Steaks

4 tsp minced fresh gingerroot
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp canola oil
1/2 cup sherry or chicken broth
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame seeds and grated orange peel
3/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
4 bone-in pork loin chop (6 ounces each)
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

In a large saucepan, cook ginger and garlic in oil for 1 minute; remove from the heat. Stir in the sherry or broth, honey, soy sauce, sesame seeds, orange peel and hot pepper sauce. Pour 1/2 cup into a small bowl; set aside. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; add reserved marinade. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened.

Drain and discard marinade from the pork. Coat grill rack with cooking spray before starting the grill. Grill chops, covered, over medium heat for 4 minutes. Turn; baste with sauce. Grill 15-20 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees, basting occasionally. Serve with remaining sauce. Serves 4
