Onion Grilled Pork Chop Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by combining onion soup mix with water, lemon juice, vegetable oil, ketchup, and low sodium soy sauce to create a marinade that imparts tangy, savory, and slightly sweet notes to the pork chops. The boneless chops are marinated for a minimum of one hour up to 24 hours for intensified flavor.
The chops are grilled over medium-high heat, approximately 350°F, for about 10-12 minutes per side, depending on thickness and grill temperature. A meat thermometer can be used to confirm they reach the recommended internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption. Spraying the grill grates with cooking spray beforehand prevents sticking and promotes even browning.
After grilling, chops should rest for 10 minutes to permit juices to settle, ensuring moist, tender meat when sliced. The recipe allows for flexibility with marinade ingredients and timing based on preference and schedule.
Ingredients
- 4-6 pork chops boneless
- 1 onion soup mix
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Combine the onion soup mix, water, lemon juice, oil, ketchup and soy sauce in an airtight bag or a large container for marinating. Marinate the pork chops for 1- 24 hours. Remove them from the refrigerator 20 minutes prior to grilling. Discard leftover marinade.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat (350°F) and spray with cooking spray or oil the grates.
- Grill on each side for 10-12 minutes. This will largely depend on how your grill holds heat and the thickness of your chops. Use a meat thermometer and aim for 145°F.
- Remove the pork chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

- Use a meat thermometer to check chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F for safe, juicy results.
- Rest grilled pork chops for 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
