Categories     Pork

Time 4h8m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 minced garlic clove
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 pork chops

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix all ingredients.
  • Pierce pork chops.
  • Pour marinade over pork chops.
  • Let sit in refrigerator at least 4 hours.
  • Grill.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your pork chops their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that has a good balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors. You can also add herbs and spices to taste.
  • Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes: This will give the marinade time to penetrate the meat and develop its flavor. You can marinate the pork chops for up to 24 hours, but 30 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed.
  • Cook 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. Be sure to cook the pork chops until they are cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pork chops are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pork chops are always juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pork chops a try! They're sure to become a family favorite.
