How to Grill Pork Chops

By grilling these pork chops, instead of cooking them in the oven, you get a delicious and smoky flavor that perfectly complements the marinade. These are so delicious and easy. You will love them!

Combine Marinade Ingredients: Mix your tomato paste, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until well combined. Add Pork Chops and Let Sit: Add your raw pork chops and marinade to a plastic bag and let the pork chops sit for at least an hour. Prepare the Grill: Heat your grill to 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit while the pork chops are marinating. Prepare the grill grate by rubbing it with olive oil or vegetable oil. Cook: Place the marinated pork chops on the preheated and well-oiled grill, and discard the marinade. Grill the bbq pork chops for about 6-7 minutes on each side. They are safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Make the Marinade Ahead of Time: Prepare the marinade in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to marinate the pork chops, remove the marinade from the fridge, give it a good stir, and add it to your pork chops. In the Freezer: Place the uncooked pork chops in a ziplock bag, add the marinade, and freeze for up to 3 months. When you are ready to cook them, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before grilling or cooking. In the Fridge: Once your bbq pork chops have cooled, you can store them in an airtight container in your fridge for 3-4 days. How to Reheat: You can warm the microwave or reheat leftovers in a skillet over low heat. Don’t overcook the meat, or it will become dry.
