Ingredients
- 4 thick cut bone-in pork chops
For the marinade
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 garlic clove thinly sliced
- 2 tsp dried herbs of your choice (I used oregano, rosemary and parsley)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, spices and herbs.
- Place the pork chops in a suitable marinating dish or a large Ziploc bag. Pour over the marinade and make sure the pork chops are all covered in the the marinade. Cover and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes but up to 24 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for at least 5 minutes on the highest setting. Add the pork chops then cook for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating, and turning to make sure the chops are evenly browned. If the fat cap is very big, stand the chops on the fat side and allow to cook and the fat to render for a few minutes.
- Take the chops off the heat when their internal temperature reaches 145ºF / 62ºC, cover with foil and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
