Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Marinade: Season pork chops with cayenne pepper and black pepper. Lightly poke the surface with a fork to allow deeper marinade penetration. (5 minutes)

02

Step
1 hrs

Marinate the Pork: Place pork chops in a casserole dish, pour soy sauce over them, and add minced garlic. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, turning halfway through, for 1 hour. (1 hour)

03

Step
10 mins

Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)

04

Step
12 mins

Grill the Pork: Remove chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade. Place chops on the preheated grill and reduce heat to medium. Cook until no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (12 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Rest and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

For best results, use fresh garlic for a more vibrant flavor.
Marinating for longer than 1 hour is not recommended as the soy sauce can make the pork too salty.
Ensure the grill is properly preheated for even cooking and beautiful grill marks.
A meat thermometer is essential for ensuring the pork is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
