2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp sliced black olives

GREEK-ALICIOUS GRILLED PORK CHOPS



Greek-Alicious Grilled Pork Chops image

I wanted to develop a sweet and tangy Grecian-style marinade for pork chops on the grill. The honey also helps tenderize the meat and gives it a beautiful browning ability. I hope you enjoy this! (I didn't want marinade to have a strong garlic flavor, which is why I chose garlic salt.) Note: Times given do not include marinating time of at least 4 hours.

GREEK-INSPIRED SEARED PORK CHOPS



Greek-Inspired Seared Pork Chops image

Bursting with flavor and perfect for a light summer dinner, these Greek-inspired pork chops are anything but boring. The pork is well seasoned and the flavor is amplified through the caramelization that occurs during searing. The bright acidity is balanced out with salty, brininess from the olives and feta.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (5 ounce) boneless, center-cut pork chops
1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
1 medium lemon, juiced
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place pork chops between sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound to flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides of the chops evenly with Greek seasoning.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Place 2 chops in the hot skillet and sear for 2 minutes. Flip and cook until chops are no longer pink in the center, or to desired degree of doneness, 2 to 4 more minutes. Set aside and keep warm. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and repeat to cook remaining 2 chops.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are slightly blistered and softened, about 3 minutes. Add olives and lemon juice and cook for 2 minutes.

Categories     Greek

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pork loin chops, trimmed of excess fat
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Place lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, black pepper and oregano in a plastic food storage bag and mix well.
  • Use a sharp knife and make several small slits into the pork chops before adding them to the marinade mixture.
  • Marinate for at least one hour, mixing occasionally. (Two hours is ideal at room temperature).
  • Barbecue or grill in the usual manner, using the marinade to brush on while cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will help to ensure that they stay juicy during grilling.
  • Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like yogurt, honey, and spices.
  • Grill the pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the pork chops and keep them juicy on the inside. Cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.

Conclusion:

Greek-style grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can grill the perfect pork chops every time. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
