Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chops. Ensure each chop is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400-450°F (200-230°C).
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for about 6-7 minutes on one side.
Flip the pork chops and continue to grill for another 6-7 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier chop.
Serve the grilled pork chops hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
