Pauline's Grilled Pork Chop Marinade

Pauline has outdone herself with her flavorful grilled pork chop marinade.  Just throw everything in a bowl, wish together, pour into a gallon sized zip-lock bag, add pork chops and let sit for a few hours before grilling and you'll have a flavorful dinner that took very little effort.

Ingredients

2 - 4         Pork chops
1/4 cup    Extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp.    Dark brown sugar (light works also)
1              Lemon, juice
2 Tbsp.    Dijon mustard
4 cloves  Garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp.    Dried thyme
1 tsp.       Onion powder
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp.    White wine vinegar
1 tsp.       Dried parsley flakes
1 tsp.       Salt
1/2 tsp.    Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wish all ingredients, except for the pork, together in a metal mixing bowl and pour into a gallon size zip-lock bag.

Step 2 (optional, but recommended for more flavorful chops)

Use a meat tenderizer to puncture holes into both sides of each pork chop.

Step 3

Add pork chops to the bag of marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag.

Step 4

Marinate in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the bag and grill as desired.

Enjoy!
