Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops about 1 inch thick
• 1/4 cup Tuscan Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Equipment

• 1 Grill Preheated to medium-high heat

• 1 whisk To combine the marinade
• 1 Resealable Bag or Shallow Dish For marinating
• 1 Tongs For turning the pork chops
• 1 Instant-read thermometer To check doneness

Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and place them in a large resealable bag or shallow dish.
2. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Tuscan Infused Olive Oil Blend, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and Dijon mustard.
3. 3. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, turning to coat each piece well. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
4. 4. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates lightly.
5. 5. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let excess drip off.
6. 6. Grill the chops for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until nicely marked and the internal temperature reaches 145°F at the thickest part.
7. 7. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
8. 8. Slice or serve whole with your favorite sides and spoon any resting juices over the top.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the marinade do the work for at least one hour. If the pork chops are thinner than 1 inch, shorten the grill time so they stay juicy and do not overcook. Always rest the meat before serving so the texture stays tender.

Recipe Tips

Bring the pork chops closer to room temperature before grilling so they cook evenly, and let them rest after grilling so the juices settle back into the meat. If your grill runs hot, keep one cooler side ready for moving the chops if the outside is browning faster than you want.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these pork chops with grilled zucchini, roasted potatoes, a crisp green salad, or warm crusty bread to catch the flavorful juices. They also pair nicely with a simple tomato salad or buttery corn for a complete dinner plate.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a covered skillet over low heat or in the oven until just warmed through so the meat stays tender.

Variations

Swap in boneless pork chops if that is what you have on hand, or add a pinch of crushed red pepper to the marinade for a little extra edge. You can also finish the chops with a squeeze of lemon and a shower of chopped parsley for a brighter finish.
