Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly all over the sides of the pork chops and place them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Allow them to marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator.

Step 4

Grill the pork chops on high for about 5 minutes on each side (the cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops). They are fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer.*

Step 5

Allow the pork chops to rest for 10 minutes before serving them, bringing them to 145°F.
