Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
Marinate the pork chops in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
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 season lightly with salt.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
