Place chops in large, resealable bag; pour vinaigrette dressing over. Seal bag and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours. Prepare medium-hot grill. Remove chops from marinade and pat dry. Discard remaining marinade. Grill chops directly over heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning once until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 160 degrees.
Serve desired number of chops for dinner; wrap and refrigerate remaining chops for up to three days. Nutrition facts per one chop.
Use leftovers with Stovetop Calzone, Grilled Pork Panini, or Tuscan Pork and Bean Salad.
These flavorful chops can be put in the refrigerator in the morning to marinate and be ready for the grill after work. Serve with seasoned rice, steamed peas and breadsticks.
Cutlets also may come from the leg or from a tenderloin that has been sliced crosswise and flattened. Supermarkets may label thin slices of cutlet as scaloppini.
Traditional cutlets are great for quick meals and casual dining. They may be prepared to stand alone as a dinner entrée or may be used in sandwiches. Cutlets are best when quickly cooked, either by sautéing or grilling.
A cutlet is a thin, tender cut of pork that is often taken from the sirloin end of the loin after the tenderloin and bones have been removed.
There are two ways to grill pork based on the size of the cut:
COOKING BASICS: Direct Heat
Arrange hot coals evenly on the fire grate of the grill or use all gas burners. Place pork directly above the heat source. Follow suggested cooking times, turning once during cooking.
Indirect Heat
Bank hot coals on both sides of the fire grate, on one side of the grill or in a ring around the perimeter. For gas grills, pre-heat and then turn off any burners directly below where the food will go. Place pork on the grill so it is not directly over any coals or gas burners and close grill hood. Follow suggested cooking times until pork is done. The heat circulates inside the grill, so turning the pork is not necessary.
