Fire up your grill for these irresistible Garlic and Soy Grilled Pork Chops, a savory dish bursting with bold Asian-inspired flavors. Marinated in a mouthwatering blend of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and fresh ginger, these bone-in pork chops are infused with the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and aromatic notes. A touch of red pepper flakes adds a subtle heat (if you dare), while a final garnish of fresh green onions brings a refreshing pop of color. Ready in just 15 minutes of grill time, these succulent chops are tender, juicy, and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend barbecue. Serve them alongside steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a crisp salad for an easy yet show-stopping meal thatβs packed with flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them. Ensure the pork chops are fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, then marinate the pork chops in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375Β°F to 400Β°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145Β°F (measured with a meat thermometer). Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the chops.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish the pork chops with sliced green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy alongside steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
