Preparation

Step 1

– a perfect addition to my repertoire of meals I can make without turning on the oven (since I have less than three weeks to go until my no-oven months start!).

1 teaspoon steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning or make your own*)

Directions

Mix olive oil, soy sauce and steak seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and pour into a one-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops and set the bag in a baking dish in a way that the pork chops get a healthy dose of the marinade (it may be advantageous to flip the bag over halfway through the marinating time). Marinate in the refrigerator for 3-8 hours (no more than 8).

Heat the grill to medium and grill the chops 6-8 minutes per side (depending on how thick they are) until they are no longer pink in the center. Remove the chops from the grill and tent them with foil and allow them to rest for 5-7 minutes. Slice the chops in 1/4 to 3/8 inch slices across the grain and serve.

Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container and use as needed.

I just realized you’re the genius behind sweet and sour chicken! That recipe should come with a warning! Once you make it, everyone you know will beg for you to make it again and again. It’s better than take-out! I hope you didn’t lose all the comments and ratings at Tasty Kitchen with the upgrade today. Your recipe should be sainted

Shelly – that’s the info that was passed to me by my sis-in-law, Ang, who gave me the recipe and I’m guessing that due to the makeup of the marinade, it might make the meat mush/too salty to leave it marinading overnight. As I type this, I’m guessing it is the too salty reason – since soy sauce can pack a punch in the salt department.

I was so excited to see this today as I was planning on making pork chops. I am always looking for a different way to make them- and it was soooooooo yummy. Thanks so much for posting!

I’m excited to try these! Have you considered adding a category to your recipe index of no-oven recipes? That would be a huge help since I try not to use it during the summer too!

Ashlee – I’ve actually had the no-oven request twice this week so I’ll see if I can add it – it might take some time to go through all the recipes. For now, I have a “Grilled” category and my “Skillet” category is all no-oven.

I was looking for something to make for dinner and I came across this recipe. I had pork chops in the freezer, we like all the ingredients, so I figured I’d give it a shot. The pork chops were so flavorful and moist- usually they end up kind of dry when I make them. My super picky 5yo son had seconds and told me several times how good they were. Thanks for the great recipe. Oh, and I just love your blog. I check it daily. I love your photos and your recipes really fit my family’s taste.

I want to make these tonight, but don’t have a grill, and my chops are too thick for the Foreman. I might try to bake them instead. Wish me luck!

I’m heading to my family reunion camping trip this week and my meal to cook for everyone is pork chops. I’m going to make the marinade in advance and take it with me. I’m cooking about 20 chops…I’ll report back when I get home.

I don’t ever cook meat. (I’m not a bif fan), but my husband is. So I decided to make these tonight. I was like a lost kitten in the meat department trying to find this cut of pork. I thought I had it, till just now when I went to marinade it, I found a bone in each cut. Will it still work? I’m scared!

Sonya – what a great idea – thanks for the tips on preparing the marinade in advance and how to make these grilled pork chops work for camping. I’m so glad they were a hit!

This is by far the best pork chop recipe I have tried. I like pork chops every now and again, but with this marinade I will make them more often. My husband loved them (and he is very picky) and our two girls (ages 3 and 6) loved them. Our girls have asked for them twice this week. Thanks a ton.

These were some of the moistest (is that a word?) Pork Chops ever! I used your recipe for homemade grill seasoning and it was delish. Next time to do something different I might add a 1/2 tbs of brown sugar to the marinade and see if that makes it kind of sweet and salty

Awesome dish! I WILL make these again (& again). Thanks Mel for a wonderful simple way to make an old dish “new” (& wonderful)!

BTW: I did marinate these overnight and they were still very good. They day I placed them in the marinate my hubby came home and offered to take us out for Mexican food. There was no way I was saying no to that! So I grilled them the next evening. No problem being in the marinate over 8 hours.

I tried these pork chops last night and they are Awesome, everyone loved them the only problem I didn’t make enough, Thank You for the recipe,

BTW… I used the Canadian Steak Seasoning by Weber that you can buy at SAMs in lieu of the seasoning mix listed.

Looks fantastic and can’t wait to to.. but pork can be eaten medium now (USDA recommends 145 internal temp for pork).. so the ‘cook til no longer pink’ doesn’t really apply anymore.. makes for a MUCH more tender chop, too! thank you for the awesome recipe!

Julie – I’d check them after an additional minute or two.

[...] said, I was super excited when I came across a recipe that I could make, Tender Grilled Pork Chops. I just mixed up 4 ingredients and my husband grilled it. If you like Pork Chops, [...]

Hello, Tidy posting. Likely to matter using your internet site inside net explorer, might analyze this kind of? For instance is still the marketplace director and a big part of others will miss a person’s spectacular composing due to this dilemma.

I made the marinade and vacuum sealed the chops in a bag and put in the fridge over night. All I can say is I don’t think I’ll make them any other way now!! This is the best pork chop recipe I’ve tried!! Thank you! !
