Ingredients
  

  • 4 1-inch boneless pork loin chops

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the pork chops in a gallon-size ziplock bag.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Pour over the pork chops in the bag, seal, and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill to 400 degrees. Grill the chops over direct heat for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping every 3 to 4 minutes, until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
  • Remove the chops from the grill and allow to rest for 3 minutes before serving to seal in the juices.

Notes

  • You may substitute brown sugar for the honey.
  • You may also substitute lemon juice for the lime juice.
  • Even if you can only have time to marinate the pork chops for an hour or two, they will still turn out absolutely delicious. My preference is to marinate pork chops for at least 4 to 8 hours, or better yet, overnight.
