Grilled Pork Chops Marinade
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- 6 cloves garlic - minced
- 1 ⅔ Tablespoons sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons dried herbs
- 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ large onion - (optional) cut into large pieces
Add the pork chops and marinade ingredients into a resealable plastic bag and massage it together. If using, add the onions to the bag and place it in the fridge for 45 minutes to overnight.
Heat your grill or indoor grill pan over medium high heat. Once your grill is heated properly, place the pork chops on the grill and let it cook for 4 minutes. Be sure not to overlap the pork chops. Flip it over and let it grill for another 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 3 minutes.
If you added onions to the marinade, grill the onions for 3 minutes or until slightly charred.
Serve the grilled pork chops with the onions. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Cooking temperature:
- A safe internal temperature for pork chops, tenderloin, and pork loin is 145 to 160 degrees F. 145 degrees F is considered medium rare while 160 degrees F is considered well done.
Cooking time:
- For half inch thick boneless pork chops, the total cook time should be around 6 to 7 minutes, flipping about half way through.
- For one inch thick boneless pork chops, the total cook time should be around 8 to 10 minutes, flipping half way through.
- The cooking time is affected if you have bone-in pork chops. Use a cooking thermometer to check the thickest part next to the bone. It's safe to consume when it's 145 to 160 degrees F.
