A delightful recipe for tender and flavorful pork chops, marinated in a savory ginger soy glaze and grilled to perfection.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved in the marinade for an even flavor distribution.
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
Preheat the grill to high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place them on the grill.
Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Sear the pork chops on high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, then reduce the heat to medium or move to indirect heat. Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness without cutting into the meat.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
Slice the pork chops and arrange them on a serving plate. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor.
