Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chops are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting later.
- Grill the pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
- Transfer the grilled pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps to retain the juices and ensures optimal tenderness.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.
