This Quick, 3-Ingredient Marinade Is the Secret to the Juiciest Grilled Pork Chops Imaginable

Does everybody have those foods or dishes that, as a child, you were convinced you hated—but in your adulthood, you’ve come to find that you actually enjoy? For me, a grilled pork chop is at the top of that list. I can vividly remember the childhood heartbreak of realizing that my dad had the grill fired up for a pork chop dinner. Noooo. To me, they were dry, flavorless, and tough to chew. Sorry, Pops…but no, thank you.

Listen, I am not here to throw my dad’s cooking under the bus (after all, he has taught me so many things), but it wasn’t until culinary school that I truly understood the beauty of a simply-grilled pork chop. When I learned that we were making pork chops at school that day, I was immediately filled with dread, because I knew it was a cut of meat that I wasn’t excited about. However, the results were nothing like what I remembered—instead, the chops were juicy, super flavorful, and tender as could be. What had I been missing all this time?!
