Grilled Pork Chops Recipe

These juicy grilled pork chops are not just a meal; they're an experience! With a simple marinade that enhances the natural flavors of the pork, they are perfect for any culinary occasion.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops (1-inch thick)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Seal or cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
4. Grill the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
5. Rest the Chops: Once cooked, remove from the grill and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes. This ensures they stay juicy and flavorful.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your grilled pork chops with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal. If you wish to use additional marinade as a sauce, be sure to bring it to a boil first before serving to ensure food safety.
