Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Pork chops, bone-in or boneless
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable freezer bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are completely coated.
Seal the freezer bag (removing as much air as possible) or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
If freezing for OAMC, label the bag with the recipe name and date, and freeze the marinated pork chops for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
To cook, preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Grill or pan-sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops.
Remove the pork chops from heat and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. This helps retain their juiciness.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
