Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice about ¼ of a small orange
- 1 ¼ tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoons dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoons dried thyme
Instructions
- Place pork chops into a gallon-sized zip-top bag.
- Add the olive oil, orange juice, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and dried thyme into the bag.
- Slosh the bag around to ensure all the pork chops get an even coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes or overnight.
- Turn the grill on and heat to medium heat (300-400 degrees F).
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade and place them on the grill.
- Grill them on one side for 4 minutes and then flip and grill them on the other side for another 4 minutes. The internal temperature of the pork must reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit to be fully cooked. Since each grill is unique, the cooking time is an estimate, be sure to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
- Once cooked, remove from the grill and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Marinate your pork chops for 8 hours for maximum deliciousness.
- Don’t let the grill get too hot before you start cooking. If you would like a nice sear, make one side of the grill hotter than the other.
- Create a sear on the pork chops with more flame, then cook the rest slowly.
- Use a meat thermometer. Some pork chops will cook faster than others depending on thickness and the bone
- After cooking the pork chops, rest the pork chops for 5 minutes before eating. This allows the moisture to stay sealed inside and the pork chop to stop cooking.
- If you don’t have a grill, or if you prefer to try another way of cooking your chops, you can either use a stovetop grill plate or bake them in the oven at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
