Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops
-
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until a deep char forms and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (use a meat thermometer). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Grill the Peaches
-
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush the peach halves with melted butter and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
-
Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until caramelized and slightly softened. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Peach Brandy Sauce
-
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add fresh peach slices and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
-
Stir in peach brandy and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add brown sugar, chicken stock, and lemon juice. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Blend half the sauce for a smoother consistency if desired.
Step 4: Cook the White Cheddar Grits
-
In a pot, bring water or chicken stock to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy.
-
Stir in shredded white cheddar cheese and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
-
Spoon a generous portion of white cheddar grits onto each plate. Top with a rested pork chop.
-
Place two grilled peach halves alongside the pork chop. Drizzle the peach brandy sauce over the pork and peaches. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
