Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, coconut aminos, and fresh lemon juice to create a marinade.
Step 2
Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and sea salt to the marinade. Stir well to ensure the spices are thoroughly mixed.
Step 3
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, making sure they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 7
Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C), which ensures they are cooked through but still juicy.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, enhancing flavor.
Step 9
Serve the grilled pork chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
