Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- Pork chops: Bone-in or boneless chops can be used in this recipe, we prefer the flavor of bone-in pork chops.
- Marinade: Add 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard to the marinade if you'd like.
- Cooking times: This recipe is for pork chops that are 3/4 inch thick. Thicker chops will need additional time while thinner chops will cook faster. For the best results, use an instant-read thermometer.
- Temperature: Pork can be (and should be) a little bit pink in the middle and cooked to 145°F. I remove the pork from the grill at about 140°F as it will continue to rise as it rests. Do not overcook.
- Allow the chops to cook on one side until they have nice color without pressing or flipping. They should be easy to remove from the grill, if they stick, leave them a bit longer.
- cook 1/2-inch chops for 4 minutes per side
- cook 3/4-inch chops for 5-6 minutes per side
- cook 1-inch chops for 7-9 minutes per side
