Grilled Pork Chops Recipe

Marinade
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 pork rib chops, each about 1-1/4 inches thick

1. In a medium bowl whisk the marinade ingredients.

2. Place the chops in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place in a bowl, and allow to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Remove the chops from the bag and discard the marinade.

3. Sear the chops over direct high heat (450°F to 550°F), with the lid closed as much as possible, for 6 minutes, turning once. Then move the chops over indirect high heat and continue grilling, with the lid closed, until the juices run clear, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
