🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
• 0.25 cups Fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoons Smoked paprika

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Place the pork chops in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic (minced), orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

3. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

5. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.

6. Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

7. Transfer the grilled pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.

8. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
