Ingredients

2 8 ounce thick cut pork loin chops
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ lemon juiced
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Add all of the marinade ingredients to a small bowl or resealable plastic bag.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Add them to the bag, press out the air, seal and place in the refrigerator.
Marinate for 3 hours or up to overnight. (See recipe post on marinating times)
Let the pork come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.
Heat the grill to 400 degrees and oil the grates. Grill the pork chops on the first side for 3-4 minutes until they release easily from the grates. Flip and grill on the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Reduce the heat and continue to cook for an additional 4-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reads 145 degrees on an instant read meat thermometer.
Remove from heat, tent with foil and rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

To cook these in the oven, heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove and add a little bit of oil. Sear the pork chops on each side for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to the oven to finish cooking to an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
