Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a shallow dish, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, parsley, rosemary, thyme, ground coriander, garlic, and lemon zest. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the pork chops to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, turning the chops halfway through. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate. Then, reduce the heat to medium. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, gently shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

05

Step

Place the chops on the preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (16 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the chops from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. (5 minutes)

For best results, use fresh, high-quality herbs. Dried herbs can be substituted, but reduce the quantity by half.
Marinating the pork chops for at least 1 hour is crucial for flavor and tenderness. Longer marinating times (up to 4 hours) will result in even more flavorful chops.
Ensure the grill is properly preheated before placing the chops on the grate. This will help to create a nice sear and prevent sticking.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to the correct internal temperature. Overcooking will result in dry, tough chops.
Serve with your favorite grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

    The resting time is key! Don't skip it. It really does make a difference in the tenderness of the pork.
