Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat.

Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/4 tsp salt, then whisk together with thyme, red pepper flakes, vinegar, oil, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Coat chops with marinade.

Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered, turning occasionally, until grill marks appear and meat is cooked to desired doneness, about 6 minutes total for medium rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest 5 minutes.
