Grilled Honey Soy Pork Chop recipe

GRILLED HONEY SOY PORK CHOPS

This recipe for Grilled Honey Soy Pork Chops is also great with chicken. The sugars in the sauce caramelize beautifully over a flame, so it’s a grilling lover’s dream!

“Make it easy, and make it good!” Sometimes, that’s really all we require for dinner, and this Grilled Honey Soy Pork Chops recipe fits that bill perfectly.

This is a quick little marinade recipe that will turn dinner into something special. You really don’t need to season the pork chops before marinating them because, of course, the marinade provides all the flavor.

Here’s a great side dish to serve with these chops: Asian Rice Noodle and Vegetable Stir Fry. This is a really simple recipe that can be adapted in a number of ways to suit your preferences!

We use this honey soy recipe most often with thick boneless loin chops (as shown) and bone-in center cut pork chops. It’s also great with the big, boneless, heavily marbled country style ribs and pork steaks. This marinade recipe also works beautifully with chicken!

We usually grill our chops on our Big Green Egg grill over wood charcoal, but you can also use a stovetop grill pan. Just make sure to start with medium-high heat and cook on each side for six to seven minutes. For thicker chops, the internal temperature should be 145 – 150°F for medium-rare, and up to 160°F for medium.

Temperature Is Key

Over-cooking pork may leave it tough and dry. Always use a good quality meat thermometer to make sure you have accurate temperature readings for cooked meats.  Accurate temperatures are important to for food safety as well as ensuring that your chops are tender, juicy and flavorful. Don’t be afraid to spend a little more if you possible for a good quality thermometer – it’s well worth it.
