Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, paprika, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until the marinade is well blended.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.

Step 7

Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices before serving.

Step 8

Serve the grilled pork chops with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
