In a medium bowl, mix together soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, paprika, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Avoid overcooking to keep them juicy.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
