Grilled Pork Chop Recipe with Garlic Marinade BBQ Pork Chops | @bestrecipebox

Pork chops vary in size and thickness, so adjust cooking times as necessary. Our recipe was made with 3/4” thick center cut pork loin chops at about 8 ounces each. If you’re cooking with thinner and smaller chops, reduce cooking time and check the chops earlier for doneness.

Ingredients

4 pork chops (we used 3/4” center cut loin chops, 8-ounces each)
4 Tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil or vegetable oil , divided
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
3 Tablespoons (45 ml) ketchup
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) onion powder
1 teaspoon (5 ml) dijon mustard or yellow mustard
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) packed brown sugar
3-4 cloves garlic , minced
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) Kosher salt , or to taste
black pepper , to taste (preferably fresh cracked pepper)
Minced parsley for garnish , optional

Equipment

Instant Read Thermometer optional
Grill Brush optional

Instructions

Make the marinade: in large ziplock bag, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, onion powder, mustard, brown sugar and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Rub the bag between your hands to combine all the ingredients.
Place pork chops in the bag and massage the marinade into the pork chops. Seal the bag and marinade the pork chops for at least 30 minutes or overnight is best for great flavor.
Pre-heat grill on medium to medium-high heat (depending on your grill’s heat). Scrape the grill grates to make sure they are clean.
Place the pork chops on the grill, making sure to save the extra marinade for brushing while you grill.
Cook the pork chops for about 4-6 minutes per side or until nicely grilled and cooked through. Several times while grilling, brush the pork chops with the extra marinade. If you are unsure about how much to cook the pork chops, measure them with an instant read thermometer to an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C.
Garnish with minced parsley, optional. Serve warm with baked potatoes, pasta or whatever you want.

Notes

Grilling Tips:

Make sure to have the grill hot before adding the pork chops and scrape the grill clean first as well. These steps will help keep the pork chops from sticking.
You don’t have to leave the pork chops for the whole 4-6 minute time/side while only turning them once. Feel free to turn the pork chops several times every couple minutes if you like, it will actually help cook them quicker and more evenly-it just needs more attention.
An instant read thermometer will take the guesswork out of knowing is they are done. Cook to an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C.
