Perfectly marinated bone-in pork chops grilled in just 15 minutes. This easy marinade is full of bright and zesty flavors like lemon, parsley and Italian seasoning, plus a touch of brown sugar for sweetness.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, brown sugar, mustard, soy sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, parsley, garlic and pepper.
Pour the marinade over the pork chops in the plastic bag, making sure it evenly coats each piece of meat.
Seal and place the bag in a large bowl (as the bones may puncture the bag) in the refrigetor for at least 1 hour or overnight.
To grill, preheat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, on medium high heat. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side. (See notes below for grill time for thicker cuts)
Let rest for at least 8 minutes before serving.
Notes
*Nutritional facts provided are only an estimate, accuracy is not guaranteed.
A ½” thick chop takes about 5 minutes per side to reach medium doneness. A ¾” thick chop takes about 6 minutes per side. And for a 1” thick chop, cook for about 7 to 8 minutes per side.
Only turn the pork once for nice grill marks.
The pork chops should reach at least 145 Fahrenheit in the thickest part, which will be cooked medium.
For a boost of flavor, set aside a few tablespoons of the marinade before you add to the pork. Once you’ve grilled the chops, warm up the reserved marinade and drizzle the sauce on top of the pork.
