Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Add the pork chops to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Season both sides with freshly ground black pepper.
- Grill the pork chops for about 8 minutes per side, or until they are seared and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
- Transfer the chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Honey Soy Grilled Pork Chops!
