Coca-Cola Pork Chops

[Quiganomics]

Pork ribeye chops, marinated in Coca-Cola for 4 hours, then dusted with our cajun blend, then a finishing layer of our steak blend. Was a great combination of flavors getting some sweetness from the Coke, a little heat from the cajun rub, and a nice savory/umami boost from the steak blend. Smoked at 250° until an IT of 140°, then wrapped in foil with a knob of butter to rest. And as were reaching the end of corn season here, a nice ear of super-sweet.

A darn good alternative to a steak when beef prices are high. My youngest, who is a steak connoisseur, even said she'd rate this up there with a good steak.

That looks great Shawn! good way to use up that soda you are not drinking. Bookmarked for sure, especially since pork is affordable, at least for now.

Is a ribeye pork chop just a thick cut chop? bone in?
