#1,552: Marinated Pork Chops


So I just started using Home Chef (thanks to my sister and my mom) and had an extra pork chop left over that I needed to use.  I wanted to make a super simple grilled pork chop recipe, but I really dislike the texture of pork.  I like my meat super well done, and that always (obviously) equals super tough and chewy meat...pretty much inedible.  So I went in search of a marinade that would hopefully let me grill my pork chop but keep it more moist and tender.  I came across this recipe and figured I'd give it a try.  It really was super simple and I liked it a lot...it wasn't anything super special, but it was quick and gave the meat some flavor!  And it was definitely moist!

4 boneless pork loin chops
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon steak seasoning

Mix olive oil, soy sauce and steak seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and pour into a one-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops and set the bag in a baking dish in a way that the pork chops get a healthy dose of the marinade (it may be advantageous to flip the bag over halfway through the marinating time). Marinate in the refrigerator for 3-8 hours (no more than 8).

Heat the grill to medium and grill the chops 6-8 minutes per side (depending on how thick they are) until they are no longer pink in the center. Remove the chops from the grill and tent them with foil and allow them to rest for 5-7 minutes. Slice the chops in 1/4 to 3/8 inch slices across the grain and serve.
