In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the marinade is well blended.
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 with plastic wrap. Let the pork chops marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-high heat or set your oven's broiler to high.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Discard the used marinade.
If grilling, cook the pork chops over direct heat for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). If broiling, place the pork chops on a baking sheet and broil for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
Let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve warm and enjoy!
