Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, ground black pepper, salt, paprika, and thyme.
Place the pork chops in a 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 and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Place the pork chops on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on the first side. Flip the pork chops and continue grilling for another 5-7 minutes on the other side, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled pork chops hot, along with your favorite sides.
