Pork Chop Marinade

My mom always made pork chops, and she would just sprinkle them with season salt, pepper, and garlic salt and be done with it. They’re delicious this way, but I loved a marinated pork chop. It’s juicier, more flavorful, and it’s perfect for grilling pork chops. I’ve even used this pork chop marinade recipe on chicken breasts and skirt steak.

HOW LONG TO MARINATE PORK CHOPS:

The key to marinating your pork chops is allowing the marinade to get into the meat. To get the marinade flavored on the outside and a bit in, I let it go for no less than 30 minutes and no longer than 4 hours. Some like to do a marinade overnight, but I prefer to marinate the meat and cook on the same day, especially when citrus or vinegar is involved. This goes for marinated boneless pork chops or bone in pork chops.

ADDING SWEETENERS TO YOUR MARINADE:

The sweetener I use for our marinade depends on how I’ll be cooking it. If I’m making my pork chop marinade with honey, I’ll use an outdoor grill, but if I’m using an indoor grill, I like to use the brown sugar. The honey gets a bit more sticky and harder to clean off of the indoor cast iron grill. Both are delicious!

ADDING SALT TO YOUR MARINADE:

There are different ways to add salt to your marinade. When you do pork chop marinade soy sauce combo you’ll have great flavor, but quite a bit of salt. You can use soy sauce in this recipe, but we prefer to use liquid coconut aminos which have less soy. Don’t have either of those? Just use some salt.

If you’re baking your pork chops in the oven, you can pat the marinade off with a paper towel so that there’s not a ton and it doesn’t burn on the sheet pan. We like serving with baked potatoes and asparagus. You could serve with whatever you like! We hope you enjoy this quick and easy marinade recipe.
