    Marinated Grilled Pork Chops Recipe

    It's grilling season and I'm loving all of the fantastic and flavorful meat dishes that I've been working on so far this summer! Since summertime always feels so short-lived here in my cold home state of Minnesota, I figured I better enjoy it while I can!

    Pork chops are one of the meats that I like to use a marinade with when grilling, as it helps the lean meat retain its juices when cooked. This is one of my favorite marinades to use on pork chops!

    🥘 Ingredients

    The combination of flavors in my marinade is just right! Some mustard, that always works well with pork, and a touch of Worcestershire sauce along with brown sugar and soy sauce to make the flavor of my grilled pork chops really 'pop'!

    • x4 8 oz pork chops - 1 to 1.25-inch thick-cut pork chops.
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)

    Pork Chop Marinade

    • ¼ cup soy sauce - regular, not low-sodium or dark soy sauce.
    • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
    • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
    • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    • ½ tablespoon garlic -finely minced or crushed.
    • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper

    *Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts & instructions!*

    🔪 How To Make Marinated Grilled Pork Chops

    Start out by trimming any fat in excess of about ¼ inch from your pork chops. Gather your marinade ingredients and a large Ziploc plastic storage bag.

    Making The Pork Chop Marinade

    • Combine the marinade ingredients in the Ziploc bag, including soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, finely minced or crushed garlic, onion powder, and pepper. Squeeze the bag to combine the ingredients.
    • Add the pork chops into your bag of marinade. Then seal, pushing out as much air as possible from the bag. Massage the contents of the bag some more to thoroughly coat your pork chops, then place in the refrigerator for at least one hour. *A quick 15-minute marinate time can work in a pinch, but does not allow the pork chops enough time to really take on the marinade flavor.

    Grilling The Pork Chops

    • When ready to grill the pork chops, remove the marinating pork chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Heat your grill and coat with olive oil before cooking the pork chops.
    • Place the marinated pork chops onto your oiled and heated grill, and discard the remaining marinade. Cook the pork chops over medium heat for 4 - 5 minutes per side, or until the pork has reached your desired level of doneness.

    Serve your perfectly grilled pork chops with creamy garlic red skin mashed potatoes, skillet brown sugar-glazed carrots, or a Caesar salad for a terrific family meal! You can also check out my post on what to serve with pork chops for more ideas!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Bone-in pork chops will typically cook a bit faster than boneless pork chops, and of course, thinner pork chops cook faster as well. The pork chops shown here are boneless pork chops that were roughly 1 - 1 ¼ inches in thickness.
    • Pork chops are cooked to medium-rare when the internal temperature reads 145ºF (63ºC) on your digital meat thermometer, and this is the minimum temperature for safely consuming pork.
    • The pork is cooked to medium when it has an internal temperature of 160ºF (71ºC) as read by a digital meat thermometer. Remove the pork from your grill when done, and allow the grilled pork chops to rest for 3 -4 minutes before serving.

    • 4 8 oz pork chops (1 to 1.25 inch thick cut pork chops)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)

    • Transfer the marinated pork chops to your oiled and heated grill, discard the remaining marinade.
