Grilled Pork Chops
Description
This recipe for Grilled Pork Chops starts with a dry and wet seasoning blend combining kosher salt, coarse black pepper, garlic, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and vegetable oil. Allowing the pork chops to marinate for 20 minutes facilitates flavor penetration and tenderizing. Grilling the chops on a medium-high heat grill or grill pan for approximately 6-8 minutes per side ensures the inside reaches 145°F, resulting in juicy and safely cooked meat.
The combination of spices adds a balance of savory, smoky, and subtly sweet notes that form a flavorful crust on the chops. The marinade's sugars caramelize and the Worcestershire sauce offers umami depth. The one-inch thickness and bone-in chops provide even cooking and flavor retention.
Grilled Pork Chops prepared in this manner are suitable for an entrée served alongside vegetables, salads, or grilled sides. Proper resting after grilling lets juices redistribute, maintaining tenderness.
