Wow, I thought my first recipe on here would for sure be a dessert, especially since it's the end of the month and my cupboards are starting to look quite bare. This is our favorite Pork Chop marinade... I love marinades...it always makes the meat more juicy...mmm, I'm still licking my chops...(ha old man joke)
Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
2 garlic cloves minced (I just use garlic powder)
6 pork loin chops, fat removed (I did 4)
In a deep dish, mix all marinade ingredients. Marinate at least 2 hours. I usually either do it that morning, or the night before. Remove from marinade and give to your husband to grill. Ok, I guess you could grill them yourself, I don't trust myself with the gas knobs, and open flames.... Cook over medium-high heat on greased grill for no more than 15 minutes or until done. Cooking time for second side is shorter by 1-2 minutes. 3/4" or thinner, 5-6 minutes maximum per side, thicker than 3/4" 6-7 minutes maximum per side. DO NOT OVER GRILL, chops will become tough. After 2 minutes grilling on a side, rotate chops 45 degrees for even cooking. Turn over when juices pool on upper surface and meat appears to be cooked half-way through.
