Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the mustard-herb marinade over the pork chops, making sure they are evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the pork chops marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled pork chops with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad, and enjoy!
