A simple marinade makes these grilled pork chops wonderfully tender and juicy!
Ingredients :
4-6 bone-in pork chops ¾-inch thick
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ lemon juiced, about 1 ½ tablespoons
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
Directions :
To make the marinade, in a large bowl or a freezer bag, combine olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic powder, basil, oregano, along with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Add the pork chops and toss well to coat. Marinate for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.
Preheat the grill to medium-high.
Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
Grill the pork chops for 5-6 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F with an instant-read thermometer. Do not overcook.
Let the pork chops rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes before serving.
