Perfectly Juicy Grilled Pork Chops Recipes

JUICY GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Make the brine by combining 2 cups of water with the salt and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until all the salt and sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat and stir in 2 cups of cold water along with the garlic. Set aside.
• Once the brine has cooled completely, pour it into a large, heavy-duty zip-top bag and add the pork chops. Remove as much air as possible and seal tightly. Refrigerate the chops for 1 hour, turning the bag over after 30 minutes to ensure even brining.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chops from the brine and pat them dry on both sides with paper towels. Discard the brine.
• If desired, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the Smoky BBQ Rub on each side of the chops and rub it into the meat with the back of a spoon. Alternately, you can rub them with a little olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Because of the salt in the brine you'll want to be sure to go easy when seasoning the outside of the meat.
• Oil the grill grates and add the chops. Grill for 4 minutes on the first side, turn and continue grilling until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes additional. Check for doneness with an instant-read thermometer and remove the chops from the grill when they reach 135 to 140°F (for medium). Allow the chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

• Mix water, soy sauce, vegetable oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and minced garlic in a deep bowl; add pork chops and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove pork chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel.
• In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
• Rub the marinade evenly all over the sides of the pork chops and place them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Allow them to marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
• Grill the pork chops on high for about 5 minutes on each side (the cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops). They are fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer.*
• Allow the pork chops to rest for 10 minutes before serving them, bringing them to 145°F.

• In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, vegetable oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, onion powder, and red pepper flakes to make a marinade.
• Place pork chops in a container or gallon-sized freezer bag and pour marinade on top.
• Place container in fridge and let pork chops marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably longer (up to 8 hours - the longer you can let it marinade, the more flavorful your pork chops will be).
