Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in pork loin chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 1/2 c. reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • Salt, for seasoning
  • Ground black pepper, for seasoning
  • Fresh thyme, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the pork chops in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and thyme. Pour the marinade over the pork chops; cover and let them marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight, flipping halfway through your desired marinating time.

  3. 3

    Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Meanwhile, pre-heat the grill to medium-high heat, 400° to 450°. Oil the grill grates well. Remove the pork chops from the marinade; discard the remaining marinade

  4. 4

    Grill the pork chops uncovered until grill marks appear, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the chops and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145°, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove the pork chops from the grill and cover with foil; let rest 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season the pork chops with more salt and pepper just before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme, if you like.
