Citrus Marinated Pork Chops

Citrus marinated pork chops

As summer is coming to a close, my husband and I are getting in as much grilling as possible. Pork chops are one of my favourite types of pork (aside from bacon of course!). Enjoy :)

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Marinade Time: 1-24 hours
Grill Time: 12-16 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloin chops, bone in
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • Dash of chili powder or cayenne pepper
  • Pinch of rosemary
  • Pinch of oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

  1. Mix ingredients in plastic bag and add pork chops. Make sure each side is throughly coated. Turn over halfway through marinading time (at least an hour, but the longer the better).
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or done until desired doneness. The inside temperature should between 150-160 degrees.
