These herb-infused grilled pork chops are marinated to perfection and grilled for a juicy and flavorful main dish.
Combine the olive oil, white wine, lemon juice, garlic, basil, oregano, rosemary, bay leaf, sugar, black pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mixing the marinade thoroughly ensures all the flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
Marinating in a shallow dish allows the pork chops to absorb the flavors more effectively.
Cover and refrigerate the pork chops for at least 1 hour, turning them occasionally.
Turning the pork chops occasionally helps the marinade penetrate evenly.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Oiling the grill grates prevents the pork chops from sticking.
Sear the pork chops on the grill for 2-3 minutes per side to create grill marks.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a beautiful charred flavor.
Move the pork chops to indirect heat and continue grilling, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Using a meat thermometer ensures the pork chops are cooked to the perfect doneness.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
