Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the finely chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chops are evenly coated.
Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use tongs to flip the chops to avoid piercing the meat and losing juices.
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled veggies or a fresh salad.
