• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, ground black pepper, salt, paprika, and thyme.

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 evenly coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Step 6

Place the pork chops on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on the first side. Flip the pork chops and continue grilling for another 5-7 minutes on the other side, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
