Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops bone-in, thick-cut
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce reduced sodium recommended
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder or dijon mustard
  • 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!

Notes

  • Season the chops: Marinating or brining the chops ahead of time will produce the juiciest chops. Marinate them in a ziplock bag or airtight container in the fridge. The chops will be more flavorful and tender from the marinating.
  • Cooking time depends on thickness, and I recommend using an instant-read meat thermometer to check doneness. Once the internal temperature reaches the 145°F / 63°C, remove from heat.
