Makes: 4 DInner portions
Ingredients
  • 4 (4-ounce) boneless, center-cut pork loin chops
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
Directions
  1. Add pork chops and all the remaining ingredients to a large food storage bag or mixing bowl, and toss to thoroughly coat chops. Marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat.
  3. Shake excess marinade from chops, and grill for 4–5 minutes on each side, just until the internal temperature reaches 145°F, or slicing into the thickest chop reveals meat that is opaque with juices that run clear.
  4. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving topped with Tzatziki Sauce (page 247), if desired.

HELPFUL TIP: Though the usual rule of thumb is that you can leave meat in a marinade overnight and get even better results, that is not recommended with a marinade with this much acid (from lemon juice). An hour or two is all you need; after that, the lemon juice will begin to cook the outside of the pork.
