Ingredients

  • 4 3/4-1 inch thick bone-in pork chops
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, or rosemary)

How To Make grilled pork chops

  • Step 1
    Whisk the olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  • Step 2
    Place the pork chops in a glass or ceramic dish and pour the marinade over the chops. Marinate 1-3 hours for thin chops and 3-6 hours for thick pork chops.
  • Step 3
    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, or about 400 degrees.
  • Step 4
    Sear the chops on each side for 2-3 minutes, then move them to indirect heat on the grill and cook for 5-8 minutes until an internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
  • Step 5
    Remove them to a plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Garnish with fresh herbs.
