I wanted to develop a sweet and tangy Grecian-style marinade for pork chops on the grill. The honey also helps tenderize the meat and gives it a beautiful browning ability. I hope you enjoy this! (I didn't want marinade to have a strong garlic flavor, which is why I chose garlic salt.) Note: Times given do not include marinating time of at least 4 hours. Ingredients:
4 thicker-cut pork loin or 4 boneless pork chops |
4 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
4 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon oregano flakes, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Trim fat from chops and pierce each side with fork twice. Place in resealable bag.
2. In small bowl, combine honey, lemon peel, lemon juice, oregano, oil, garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Pour over chops.
3. Seal bag and turn to coat chops.
4. Marinate in refrigerator for 4-24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
5. Drain chops and discard marinade.
6. For a Charcoal Grill: Place chops on grill rack over medium coals.
7. Grill uncovered for 11-14 mins., turning once halfway through, until chops are slightly pink in center and juices run clear.
8. For gas grill: Preheat grill on high, then reduce heat to medium.
9. Place chops on rack over heat, cover, and grill as above.
