Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup Riesling wine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Riesling wine, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the pork chops and marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for the best flavor.
Preheat the grill or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Cook the pork chops on the grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the chops.
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the pork chops warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
