Cooking Time: 10 min

Ingredients

2 bone-in pork chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Pork Chops

In a shallow dish, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Place the pork chops in the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for more flavor infusion.

Step 2: Preheating the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Grilling the Pork Chops

Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C using a meat thermometer.

Flip the pork chops only once during cooking to achieve a nice sear on both sides.

Let the grilled pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 4: Serving the Grilled Pork Chops

Transfer the grilled pork chops to a platter or individual plates.
Garnish with fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, for an extra touch of elegance.

Serve your grilled pork chops hot alongside your favourite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad.
