Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for basting later. Pour the remaining marinade into a large zip-top bag or shallow dish.

Step 3

Place the pork chops into the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade to avoid cross-contamination.

Step 6

Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

While the pork chops are grilling, make the teriyaki glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the reserved 1/4 cup marinade with cornstarch and water. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens into a glossy glaze (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 8

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Drizzle the teriyaki glaze over the pork chops and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed rice and grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
