Restaurant-Quality Marinated Pork Chops

Ingredients

• Pork chops (Amount not stated; use enough chops for the desired servings.)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 0.333 cup Brown sugar (Transcript states one-third cup.)
• 1 tbsp Garlic (Minced)
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Onion (Minced)
• 4 tbsp Butter (Transcript says “4 tabs”; used in the metal pan beneath the pork chops.)

Steps

1. 1

   Combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, smoked paprika, and minced onion in a blender or suitable container. Blend until the marinade is combined.

2. 2

   Add the pork chops to the marinade, coating them as well as possible.

3. 3

   Cover and refrigerate the pork chops in the marinade for 12 to 24 hours so they can absorb the flavor.

4. 4

   Remove the marinated pork chops from the marinade when ready to cook.

5. 5

   Heat a grill and sear both sides of the pork chops to develop browned surfaces and help retain their juices and flavor.

6. 6

   Remove the seared pork chops from the grill. Place 4 tablespoons of butter in a metal pan, then place the pork chops on top of the butter.

7. 7

   Return the metal pan with the pork chops to the grill and continue cooking until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

8. 8

   Remove the pork chops from the grill and serve once they have reached 145°F.

Notes

The source does not state the number or thickness of the pork chops, the grill temperature, or the searing and finishing times. Discard the used marinade rather than serving it unless it is separately boiled for food safety.
