We love to grill. We grill all-year-around. Even in Indiana, we cleared a path through the snow on our patio, so we could still grill our favorite foods. Are we crazy? Probably a little bit.
We used to drive over an hour to a meat locker in Indiana that we loved. They have THE BEST smoked pork chops. We would find a marinade and then grill them. We have tried many different marinade recipes, but my favorite so far has been the one I came up with. It is flavored with bourbon and orange juice. The marinade really gets into the meat creating a juicy and flavorful chop.
Time to get your grill on!
Ingredients:
¼ cup bourbon
¼ cup orange juice
¼ extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp ground ginger
4 boneless, center cut pork chops (bone-in is fine too)
Whisk the bourbon, orange juice, olive oil, soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground ginger together in a bowl.
Pour the marinade over the pork chops. Be sure the pork chops get coated on each side. Cover the bowl and marinate for at least 1 hour.
Grill the marinated pork chops on medium-high heat until the pork in cooked through. Turn over halfway through cook time. Discard any remaining marinade.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite side dish such as: Mac and Cheese.
