Chinese Pork Chops

Recipe View Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, vegetable oil, ground ginger, and garlic powder until the sugar is fully dissolved. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Marinate the Pork: Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for basting. Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag and pour the remaining marinade over them. Ensure the chops are evenly coated, then seal the bag, removing any excess air. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Refrigerate: Marinate the pork chops in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (6-8 hours)

Recipe View Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Grill the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Baste and Cook: Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, basting frequently with the reserved marinade. The pork chops should be cooked through and no longer pink in the center. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Check for Doneness: Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (1 minute)

Recipe View Rest and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. (5 minutes)
