Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Herb-Infused Pork Chops.
Step 1
Start by whisking together 3 cups of water, 2 1/2 tablespoons of white sugar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt in a bowl until everything is well combined. This will be the base of your flavorful marinade.
Step 2
Pour the marinade into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Add in the sprig of fresh rosemary and the two sprigs of fresh thyme, allowing their aromatic essence to infuse the mixture.
Step 3
Next, place the 4 pork chops into the bag, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Squeeze out any excess air from the bag and seal it tightly. Now, let the pork chops marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or even overnight if you want to enhance the flavor further.
Step 4
When you're ready to grill, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking and ensure those beautiful grill marks.
Step 5
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, discarding the marinade afterward. Place the chops on the preheated grill, cooking them for about 10 minutes on each side. You want them to be perfectly cooked through, so keep an eye on them! An instant-read thermometer should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) when they’re done.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making each bite tender and juicy. Serve them up and enjoy the delightful flavors of your herb-infused grilled pork chops!
How to Serve
These grilled pork chops pair wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad. For an extra touch, drizzle with a balsamic reduction or serve with a tangy apple sauce.
How to Store
Store any leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the grill to maintain their juiciness.
