Delicious Grilled Pineapple Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces pork chops
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a marinade.

    Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for an even flavor.
  2. Marinate Pork Chops

    Place pork chops in a zip-top bag and pour marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best results, marinate overnight.
  3. Preheat Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and oiled.

    A hot grill prevents sticking.
  4. Grill Pork Chops

    Remove pork chops from the marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 145°F.
  5. Add Pineapple

    In the last 2 minutes of grilling, add diced pineapple to the grill to caramelize.

    Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Serve

    Remove pork chops and pineapple from the grill. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

    Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
