Combine all marinade ingredients (except for pork) in a jar, cover and shake vigorously.

Pour marinade into a ziploc bag along with the pork, press out as much of the excess air as you can, then seal the bag and chill for 30 minutes.

Transfer pork to a baking dish and pour half of the marinade over the pork. Bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle. Slice and serve.

For Baking

Wrap pork in foil and grill for 15 minutes, turning throughout to ensure even cooking. Unwrap, place directly on the grill, and continue to grill until completely cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. Slice and serve.

This humble cut of meat is tender, juicy and full of flavor with a honey, garlic and Dijon pork tenderloin marinade. 

Honey Garlic Dijon Pork Tenderloin Marinade

pork tenderloin ((about 1 lb.))

honey

Dijon mustard

soy sauce ((or substitute with tamari or coconut aminos

garlic

Salt and pepper,

In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Season pork on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste.

Place pork in a large zip-top plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the pork and toss to coat. Seal the bag and refrigerate the pork in the marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. Rotate the pork occasionally so that the marinade touches all sides.

Set aside the remaining ½ of the marinade in a separate bowl, cover, and refrigerate for later.

Remove pork from the marinade and place in a baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Discard bag with the marinade. Allow pork to come to room temperature while you preheat the oven.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove cover, brush with reserved marinade, and place under the broiler for about 5 minutes (or until a crispy crust forms on top), and pork reaches an internal temperature of 140°F - 145°F.

Remove from oven and allow pork to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with reserved marinade.

TO COOK THE TENDERLOIN IN THE OVEN:

Remove pork from the marinade and allow to come to room temperature while you heat the grill. Discard bag with the marinade.

Heat the grill to medium heat. Place pork on the grill and cover. Cook for about 12-14 minutes, turning every few minutes, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 140°F - 145°F.

Allow pork to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with reserved marinade.

Grilled Bourbon Pork Tenderloin - better than any restaurant!!! We LOVED this pork! Pork tenderloins marinated in bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and garlic.

Grilled Bourbon Pork Tenderloin

Bourbon

brown sugar

soy sauce

Worcestershire

lemon, (juiced)

garlic powder

pork tenderloins, (about 2 pounds total)

Whisk together bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire, lemon juice and garlic powder.

How to make Grilled Pork Chops that are always juicy on the inside with a perfectly seasoned crust. This is the best way to grill pork chops. Brush with BBQ sauce to serve if desired.

Juicy Grilled Pork Chops Recipe

pork

tsp black pepper

tbsp kosher salt (adjust

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel.

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

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.

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.*

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

This savory pork marinade is perfect for chops, but works beautifully with other cuts like pork tenderloin. We recommend using thicker chops to help them stay juicy, though thin chops work nicely, too. Just be sure to marinate the meat in the fridge for at least 30 minutes—or up to overnight for the best flavor! You can cook the chops however you like, but our favorite method is to get a quick char on a grill pan, then finish them in the oven. You&#8217;ll be left with a beautiful crust and perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy centers.

garlic cloves, minced (about 2 teaspoons)

mayonnaise

Dijon mustard (or 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard)

Aleppo pepper red pepper flakes

fine sea salt

pork chops (1-inch thick, 1 ½ to 2 pounds total), boneless or bone-in

Combine the garlic, soy sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, brown sugar, Aleppo pepper, and salt in a bowl; mix well. (This marinade is intentionally thick so it adheres to the meat.)

Add the pork chops to the bowl, or transfer the marinade and chops to a resealable, food-safe bag. Rub the mixture thoroughly all over the pork.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For the best results, marinate for 4 hours or up to overnight. Halfway through the marinating time, move the chops around so they remain evenly coated.

Marinate the Pork Chops

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Heat a lightly oiled grill pan over medium heat. Place the chops in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until grill marks appear. Watch that your heat is not too high during this step, as the brown sugar can burn. Do not cook the chops all the way through at this stage.

Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet. Brush any remaining marinade from the bowl over the meat. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F, about 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of your chops. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Cook the Pork Chops

Fabulous pork chops. I had tended to ignore pork chops because my mom who wasn't much of a cook served them often: dry tasteless too chewy much like the lima beens she put with them. Not her fault really she worked a lot. These were so good. I will make them often. Also every recipe of yours has worked well for me. I know I can trust your recipes. Thanks very much.

I made this last night with a single pork tenderloin.  The full recipe amount of the marinade was just the right amount. It was great.  I increased the oven temp to 425, as specified in your  Pork Tenderloin with Peppers  recipe.  I was cooking indoors, and don't have a grill pan, and was concerned that the mayonnaise in the marinade would burn if I used a regular skillet, so my end result was a bit pale, but tasted fantastic. Thanks, Joe

Made the marinated pork chops and grilled them (marinated for 24 hours).  Recipe simple and outcome was lovely.  Mild flavor with just enough to say  delicious. 

Made these last night and they were fantastic! Doubled the ingredients for two thick premium bone-in chops (they look sort of like a ribeye steak but they are pork) and hubby grilled them to perfection! So juicy and flavorful and so easy. I marinated the meat about 3 1/2 hours. Thanks for another great recipe!

SO good..... I make porkchops all the time and I wanted to try something different. So glad I did. Juicy and tasty! I will be making this again next week!!!

Saving this to make again. Had 6 chops so I added a little more of each ingredient. 4 hours later I made 3 of them. They turned out perfect and delicious. Tonight...24 hours later, I fired up the grill. Just before dropping them I sprinkled a little Montreal steak seasoning. The extra saltiness elevated these for me. Just..... really really good pork chops.

Great marinade. I messed up and am just now seeing garlic as the first ingredient 12 hours later, but still good. I dredged my chops in the marinade, then put them in a bag that I sealed with my food saver. Once I did that, I completely forgot about them for about 12 hours until I realized I was hungry. I can see myself putting chops in the marinade before work in the future and cooking after work.

We picked up a container of assorted pork chops and I thought now what. Easy to cook but usually dry. I came across your recipe for marinated pork chops and gave it a try. HOLY COW/PORK, I doubled the recipe but i kept a couple of chops out in case it turned out not great, WRONG. Excellent recipe, I will use again.  Chops were juicy and tender,  let marinate for 5 hours. Fried in a cast iron pan for grill marks then put in a larger cast iron skillet and put in the oven. A KEEPER!!!

Decided to change up seasonings using this recipe for more interesting thick, center cut pork chops. Thanks for the tip to pour the remaining marinade over before baking. The flavor combination was absolutely delicious especially when served with the yummy pan drippings!  5 stars!

Live this recipe for the marinade. Is it possible to use the leftover marinade &amp; skillet drippings to make a gravy?

This is the best pork chop marinade recipe I have tried. I marinated the pork chops overnight, and they were so tender! Our kids loved it too, and requested this version of pork chops from now on.

Amazing marinade - It made for quite possibly the BEST pork chops I have ever had. One deviation from the original recipe, I added a teaspoon of smoked paprika to add to the savoriness. SO GOOD!
