Ingredients: 1/2 cup packed brown sugar; 1/2 cup soy sauce; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 8 ounces each)

This pork chop marinade is so simple that I use it on all kinds of meat. For a more robust flavor, let the meat marinate in the refrigerator overnight. —Lori Daniels, Beverly, West Virginia

Ingredients

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 8 ounces each)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and pepper. Pour marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add pork chops; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill chops on greased grill rack, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-5 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°). Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Super simple and very flavorful. I added a healthy pinch of red pepper flakes because my husband likes a bit of heat. Don;t overcook the pork chops. My husband removes them from the heat when they are just a couple of degrees below the desired temp. He covers them then lets them rest 10 minutes. They are done to perfection and not overcooked.

I was hoping the flavor of the brown sugar would "make" this recipe, but it was overpowered by the soy sauce :(

We enjoyed these chops. I made no changes to the recipe but would caution people to make sure to not overcook them. We grilled for 4 minutes each side and it was just right. Any longer and we would have had dried out chops.

This recipe is a grilling staple in our home. I use boneless pork chops, and they turn out so moist and delicious!
