Grilled Pork Chops
Grilled Pork Chops
It's easy to think you may not be a pork chop fan. They often come overcooked and dry, but they don't have to be that way. These pork chops are marinated to make them extra flavorful and tender. A marinade will also help a pork chop from being dry. The marinade works to break down the meat and keeps it tender and juicy after cooking.

Tips for marinating — A good marinade will make a big difference in pork chops. Make sure your marinade has an acid in it to tenderize the meat and something flavorful. We use soy sauce to help with both of those things in our marinade. For some variations though you could use some dijon mustard and lemon juice, cilantro, olive oil, and lime juice, or balsamic and honey.
