Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, and water. Stir until fully mixed to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F). Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for accuracy.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled brown sugar pork chops hot with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
