Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, and water. Stir until fully mixed to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F). Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 5
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for accuracy.
Step 6
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 7
Serve the grilled brown sugar pork chops hot with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
