Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Herb Grilled Pork Chops.
Step 1
To start your delicious grilled pork chops, grab a large resealable bag and combine the zesty lemon juice, smooth vegetable oil, minced garlic, salt, oregano, and pepper.
Step 2
Mix these ingredients together until they’re well blended, creating a flavorful marinade that will infuse your pork chops with mouthwatering taste.
Step 3
Next, add the pork chops to the bag, seal it tightly, and pop it in the refrigerator.
Step 4
Let them marinate for at least 2 hours, or if you have the time, overnight is even better! Remember to give the bag a gentle turn every now and then to ensure the marinade coats the chops evenly.
Step 5
When you’re ready to grill, fire up your outdoor grill to high heat.
Step 6
While it’s heating up, take the remaining marinade and pour it into a saucepan.
Step 7
Bring it to a boil, then remove it from the heat and set it aside—this will be your basting sauce that adds even more flavor to your chops.
Step 8
Before placing the pork on the grill, lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Now, it’s time for the main event! Place the marinated pork chops on the grill and cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
Step 10
As they grill, baste them frequently with the boiled marinade to keep them juicy and flavorful.
Step 11
You’ll know they’re ready when they’re cooked through and have those beautiful grill marks that make your meal look as good as it tastes.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the anticipation of a delicious meal ahead!.
