Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together the finely chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chops are evenly coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use tongs to flip the chops to avoid piercing the meat and losing juices.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled veggies or a fresh salad.
