Grilled Pork Chops

Take a break from pan searing pork chops and fire up the grill. Don't rush the marinating, it's the key to both full flavor and beautiful caramelization.



Grilled Pork Chops
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

  • 2 Tbsp. white wine or apple cider vinegar

  • 1 Tbsp. light brown sugar

  • 2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp. dried)

  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper

  • 4 bone-in pork chops, 1 in. thick (about 2 3/4 lb.)

Instructions

    Prepare marinade:

    Stir together Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, rosemary, garlic, smoked paprika, and pepper in a small bowl. Place pork chops in a zip-top plastic bag; pour marinade over and toss to coat. Chill 8-12 hours or until ready to cook.

    Prepare pork chops:

    Remove pork chops from refrigerator; let stand 30-45 minutes to come up to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat grill to high (450°F to 500°F).

    Grill pork chops:

    Remove pork chops from marinade, discarding the marinade and any pieces of garlic that may stick to the chops. Place pork chops on oiled grates; grill, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium (350°F to 400°F).  Cook, turning after 5 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 145°F, about 10-15 minutes.

    Let rest, and serve:

    Remove pork from grill and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
