147/18 – Drunken Goat Chops:
I had some goat chops in the freezer which I wanted to cook and on my “To cook” list I spotted Drunken Lamb Chops from the Korean BBQ book. Time for Drunken Goat Chops!

The Meat:
Chops from the saddle so they include the sirloin and the fillet. A whole saddle is 5.5kg and costs £68.75 but contact Cabrito and get some chops rather than the whole saddle. At £12.50 per kg these chops would have cost £7.27. Turner and George also sell the saddle at £14.44 for 1.5kg.
The Prep:
Clockwise from top left: Soy Balsamic sauce (brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, water and cornstarch), Rum (didn’t have brandy!), minced garlic, hoisin sauce, rosemary, toasted sesame oil.
Everything was mixed together then I put the goat chops into a freezer bag and poured the marinade in, mixed everything together then put it in the fridge for an hour.
After an hour it was time to fire up the grill. Two handfuls of Oxford Charcoal Oak Lumpwood went onto the Thuros T1 grill and was lit over three flamers then left for 10 minutes to heat up.

The Cook:
Goat chops over direct heat.
Knowing the marinade had sugar and rum in it I expected the fire to flare up so I kept an eye on it and put the Thuros BBQ lid on if flames started lapping the meat. After 3 minutes I flipped the meat over. 
After another 3 minutes the chops were reading 65c internal temperature on the Thermapen so I took them off to rest for 5 minutes.
They looked and smelt fantastic!
SUMMARY:
Mrs KungFuBBQ knocked up an Asian noodle dish and a spicy Asian coleslaw which we had with the drunken goat chops, both were really tasty and went well with the chops.
The chops themselves were fantastic, great bits of meat and the fillet especially was an absolute treat! The marinade worked well on the chops and any charred bits tasted particularly good!
