Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, chopped thyme, brown sugar (or maple syrup/honey), Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, making sure they are well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-8 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse into the meat.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your gas grill to 400°F (medium-high heat).
- Searing: Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Sear the pork chops on the hot grill for about 2 minutes per side for the initial sear. This helps to lock in the juices.
- Grilling: Reduce the heat to medium and continue grilling the pork chops for an additional 4-7 minutes per side. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 140-145°F for medium doneness. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the chops.
- Resting: Once the desired internal temperature is reached, transfer the grilled pork chops to a clean plate, cover with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes. During this time, the carryover cooking will raise the internal temperature to 145°F.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve your juicy grilled pork chops. Enjoy!
Notes
- Choose Quality Pork: Start with high-quality, preferably thick-cut, bone-in pork chops. The thickness of your pork chops helps retain juiciness during grilling, so a thicker cut is your best choice.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your gas grill to the specified temperature (400°F) before placing the pork chops on it. This ensures even cooking and a proper sear.
- Rest for Juiciness: After cooking, allow the grilled pork chops to rest for at least 5 minutes (cover with aluminum foil). This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy texture.
