Title: Pork Chop Marinade
Ingredients:
– 4 bone-in pork chops
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring each chop is evenly coated. If using a bag, make sure to seal it tightly before placing it in the refrigerator.
3. Allow the pork chops to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate them for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat and make it more tender.
4. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure to oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and discard the remaining marinade.
6. Place the pork chops on the grill or skillet, and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium, using a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
7. Once the pork chops are cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, for a fresh burst of flavor and color.
These delicious Pork Chop Marinated will impress your family and friends with their juicy and flavorful taste. Whether you’re grilling for a weekend BBQ or cooking a cozy dinner at home, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy your meal!
