Ingredients
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 bone-in or boneless pork chops, ¾ to 1-inch thick
Instructions
1. Combine olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
2. Place pork chops in a zip-top bag or baking dish, pour the marinade over, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to 8 hours, preferring 3 hours or overnight for deep flavor.
3. Remove chops from the fridge 30 minutes before grilling to bring to room temperature for even cooking.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F), cleaning and oiling the grates to prevent sticking.
5. Remove chops from marinade, discard excess, and sear on the grill for 2 minutes per side to lock in juices.
6. Lower heat to medium, grilling for 4 to 7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F, rotating chops for crosshatch marks.
7. For flare-ups, move chops to a cooler grill area to prevent burning.
8. Rest chops for 5 minutes under foil after cooking to redistribute juices before serving.
