Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce I use lite or reduced sodium
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar packed
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme 1 teaspoon dried thyme may be substituted
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika regular paprika may be substituted
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauceÂ
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless
- fresh parsley for garnishing optional
Instructions
- To a large ziptop bag, add all the ingredients, seal the bag, and squish everything around to evenly coat the pork chops. This can be done in a bowl but I find a bag to be much more convenient.
- Place in the fridge to marinate for 1 hour. Note - A marinating time of 15 minutes or any portion of an hour is fine if you're short on time but the chops will be less flavorful and less juicy the less time they marinate.
- Preheat an outdoor gas grill* (See Notes for other cooking options) to medium and after it's hot, add the pork chops (discard the bag with the marinade), and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on the first side with the lid closed. Tips - Don't move the chops around after you set them down because you want them to sear. Be patient and don't even check on them for 5 minutes.
- Flip over and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes with the lid closed, or until done which is 145F. Use a digital thermometer if you're unsure. Tips - It's fine to pull the chops off the grill at 140F because the internal temp will continue to rise even off the grill. Make sure to rest the chops for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into them for the juiciest pork chops.
- Optionally garnish with parsley and serve. Extra pork chops will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- *A charcoal grill is also fine if that’s what you have noting that the flavor will be, well, more charcoaly and smoky. That being said, if you can’t grill your pork chops outdoors, you can use an indoor cast iron grill pan. You can even bake the pork chops in a 350F oven for about 25 minutes or until done, flipping once halfway through.Â
- **I think the nutritional stats are artificially elevated because it takes into account all of the marinade being consumed. But you're not consuming all of it, since some of the marinade that remains in the ziptop bag gets discarded.
