We’re back with another installment of “GMG Made Easy,” proving that BBQ doesn’t have to be complicated. Today, we’re featuring the incredible Belgian Duroc de Kempen pork chops—renowned for their marbleization and rich flavor—paired with roasted vegetables.
We were using the Ledge 2.0 for a “reverse sear” technique that ensures a juicy interior and a steakhouse-quality crust.
The Game Plan
• The Prep: Rub your Duroc pork chops generously with any rub you like. We used Braai BBQ Belgium Pork Rub. Let them sweat for a bit so those spices can pe*****te the meat
• The Sides:
- Tray 1: Brussels sprouts (halved), tossed with red onion and savory ham bits
- Tray 2: Carrots (halved), white onion, and smashed garlic cloves. Drizzle both with olive oil and a pinch of salt and lots of black pepper
• Start your GMG Ledge and set it to 120°C. Throw the chops and both veggie trays in immediately. We’re looking for that deep, wood-fired infusion
• Monitor your meat until it hits an internal temperature of 45°C. At this point, remove the pork chops and set them aside.
• The Searing Finish: Crank the Ledge all the way up to 288°C. Once it’s screaming hot, toss the chops back on for a quick, aggressive sear on both sides - 3 mins on each side
• Pull the veggies once they are tender and caramelized. Serve immediately for a meal that is high-protein, veggie-forward, and incredibly satisfying
Why It’s a Game Changer
• Precision Cooking: Taking the meat to 45°C before searing ensures you never overcook the center while chasing a golden-brown crust
• One-Grill Meal: From the earthy sweetness of the carrots to the smoky crunch of the sprouts, your entire dinner is fueled by 100% natural wood pellets
• Premium Ingredients: Using quality local meat like Duroc de Kempen elevated by our favorite rub makes a “simple” Tuesday night dinner feel like a weekend feast.
Easy, fast, and healthy. That’s the GMG way.
