Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the bone-in pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor. Flip the chops halfway through marinating if possible.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
