Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approx. 4 oz each) Boneless pork chops
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 spray (to grease grill or pan) Cooking spray
- 4 pieces (optional, for serving) Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dark rum, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grill or pan with cooking spray.
Step 4
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard any remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the pork chops on the hot grill or pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
Step 6
Remove the pork chops from the heat and allow them to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. This helps to retain their juices.
Step 7
Serve the pork chops with a lime wedge on the side, if desired, to add a bright, citrusy kick.
