Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. 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 8 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the hot grill or grill pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer.
Transfer the cooked pork chops to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the pork chops warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
