Ultimate Pork Chop Marinade for Arteflame Grilling: Flavorful & Juicy

Pork Chop Marinade for the Arteflame Grill

Elevate your pork chops with this flavorful marinade, perfect for grilling on the Arteflame. The combination of ingredients not only tenderizes the pork but also infuses it with a delightful blend of flavors, ensuring juicy, succulent chops every time.

Marinade Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for that smoky flavor)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme

For Grilling:

• 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick)
• Arteflame Grill
• Tongs
• Meat thermometer

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey (or brown sugar), minced garlic, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in optional herbs if using.

2. Marinate the Pork Chops:

   • Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.

3. Preheat the Arteflame Grill:

   • Heat your Arteflame Grill, ensuring an even hot cooking surface.

4. Grill the Pork Chops:

   • Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard remaining marinade.
   • Place the pork chops on the grill grate for a perfect sear.  Then cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F for medium, turning only once to ensure a good sear.
   • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness without cutting into the meat.
   • NOTE: Remove the chops promptly when they reach  140°F as they will continue to cook while they rest.

5. Rest and Serve:

   • Transfer the grilled pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it stays juicy and flavorful.
   • Serve your grilled pork chops with your favorite sides.

Why This Marinade Works:

The combination of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar not only adds depth of flavor but also tenderizes the meat. The honey or brown sugar balances the acidity, creating a perfect caramelization on the grill. Smoked paprika and fresh herbs introduce a hint of smokiness and freshness, complementing the natural flavors of the pork.

Enjoy your beautifully marinated and grilled pork chops on the Arteflame Grill, a recipe guaranteed to delight your taste buds and impress your guests.
