Balsamic Pork Chop Marinade

Step 1

Place the pork chops in a large ziplock bag. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and rosemary.

Step 2

Pour the marinade over the pork chops and seal the bag, squeezing out all the air.

Step 3

Move the pork chops around in the marinade until they are all evenly coated.

Step 4

Refrigerate and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours (see note).

Step 5

You can freeze the pork chops in the marinade immediately and let them marinate as they defrost, or marinate and cook them immediately.

Step 6

Either grill the pork chops for 4-8 minutes per side over medium heat (about 400F), pan fry for 4-8 minutes per side over medium heat, or bake at 400 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F has been reached.

Step 7

Let the pork chops rest, tented with foil, for 5 minutes before serving.
