How to Grill Pork Chops (With the Right Grill Temp)
Nothing’s worse than rubbery, overcooked pork chops that lack flavor. Want to know the secret to tender, juicy grilled pork chops at home? You’ve got to pay attention to both the grill temperature and the internal temperature.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in, thick-cut
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper optional
Instructions
- In a deep bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, mustard and olive oil.
- Add the pork chops to the bowl and turn to coat completely. Optional: cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat or about 450°F.
- Remove the chops from the marinade and place on the grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place the marinated pork chop on the grill. Cover the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, flip and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Move the chops to indirect heat to cook for 8-15 minutes longer (see note).
- Remove the chops to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes, covered lightly with foil. (This allows the juices to retreat back into the meat.) Serve and enjoy!
