Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well combined to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the pork chops on the hot grill, and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest on a clean plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the pork chops warm, paired with your favorite sides like grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
