Dad's Grilled Pork Chops
My dad is an expert on the grill, and one of my favorite recipes that he makes is pork chops. These pork chops are marinated for as long as possible in a mix of spices, herbs, vinegar, and oil, then charcoal-grilled to perfection! It's definitely a recipe for meat lovers.
Equipment
- Charcoal Grill
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tbsp mustard any kind
- 1 1/2 tbsp Montreal chicken seasoning
- 1 1/2 tbsp roasted garlic and herb seasoning
- 1 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 3-3.5 lbs pork rib chops pork boneless loins
Instructions
- Choose your meat. See some tips above.
- In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade: olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and seasonings. Mix well, to help emulsify the marinade and dissolve the salt. This is highly important to make sure the pork is evenly seasoned.
- In a one-gallon Ziploc bag, add the pork and then pour in the marinade. Seal the bag tightly, trapping air outside of it.
- Massage the meat around to ensure it is evenly coated, then push it around until it is in one flat layer.
- Let it marinate for 8 hours, flipping the bag every hour to keep the meat marinating evenly.
- Heat/prepare your charcoal grill to the range of 300ºF-350ºF. Grill the pork for 4.5 minutes each side, until slightly bouncy. It should reach a temperature of 150ºF-160ºF.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes, then enjoy!
