Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 whole Fresh pineapple
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili flakes
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground black pepper, salt, and chili flakes. Whisk together until fully blended.
Step 2
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Step 3
While the pork chops are marinating, prepare the pineapple. Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rings.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Set the marinade aside for basting (optional).
Step 6
Place the pork chops on the hot grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer. Brush occasionally with the leftover marinade if desired.
Step 7
While the pork chops cook, grill the pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and caramelized edges.
Step 8
Remove the pork chops and pineapple from the grill. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled pork chops with the pineapple slices on top or on the side. Enjoy!
