Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approx. 4 oz each) Boneless pork chops
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 spray (to grease grill or pan) Cooking spray
- 4 pieces (optional, for serving) Lime wedges
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dark rum, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large 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 and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grill or pan with cooking spray.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard any remaining marinade.
Place the pork chops on the hot grill or pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
Remove the pork chops from the heat and allow them to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. This helps to retain their juices.
Serve the pork chops with a lime wedge on the side, if desired, to add a bright, citrusy kick.
