Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a large resealable plastic bag, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Whisk or shake well to combine.
Add the minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until the marinade is fully blended and aromatic.
Place the pork chops into the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. If using a resealable bag, push out as much air as possible and seal tightly.
Refrigerate the pork chops in the marinade for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor. Turn the chops halfway through marinating to ensure even seasoning.
When ready to cook, remove the marinated pork chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Preheat your grill, skillet, or oven to medium-high heat. If grilling or pan-searing, lightly grease the cooking surface with oil.
Cook the pork chops for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the chops rest for 3 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
Serve the pork chops hot, accompanied by your favorite sides, and enjoy the rich, savory flavors of the marinade.
