Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (approximately 1-inch thick)
- 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
- 0.25 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest
Instructions
Place the pork chops in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, orange zest, and lemon zest.
Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Add the rosemary sprigs to the bag or dish.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional rosemary or citrus slices if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite sides.
