Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 thick boneless pork chops (or bone-in, about 1-inch thick)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Mix the marinade. In a wide bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together the oil, Worcestershire, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Want a little heat? Toss in a pinch of cayenne.
  • Add the chops. Place the pork chops in the marinade and turn them so they’re completely coated. Pop them in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better for max flavor).
  • Fire up the grill. Heat your outdoor grill to medium-high (around 375–400°F / 190–200°C). Clean and oil the grates so nothing sticks. Using a stovetop grill pan? Preheat it over medium and lightly oil the surface.
  • Grill the pork. Take the chops out of the marinade and let the extra drip off. Season each side lightly with salt. Discard the leftover marinade. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the internal temp hits 145°F (63°C). Cook a little longer if you prefer them well done.
  • Let them rest. Transfer the pork chops to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 8–10 minutes to keep them tender and juicy.
  • Finish with butter. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Brush it generously over the hot pork chops just before serving.
