Garlic and Soy Grilled Pork Chops

Ingredients:

2 boneless center-cuts pork loin chops, trimmed of all visible fat
½ tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Fresh herbs, for garnish

Instructions:

Sprinkle the pork chops all over with soy sauce, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Coat a grill rack or broiler-pan rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill or broiler.

Cook the pork chops 4” from the heat, turning once halfway through cooking time, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center of a chop registers 155 degrees F and the juices run clear. Garnish with the herbs.

The longer you marinate the pork chops my family and I have found they taste better. My family and I have also found we enjoy the pork chops grilled outside on a charcoal grill.

Grill up chunks of fresh vegetables alongside these lip-smaking pork chops for an irresistible outdoor feast. Bell pepper, sweet onion, and zucchini would work quite nicely.
