Grilled Pork Chops

Crisp air, changing leaves, and the scent of dinner sizzling outdoors—few things capture fall’s spirit quite like Grilled Pork Chops. This dish celebrates the season’s warmth and simplicity, delivering rich, savory flavor kissed by the flame. The cooler weather makes every grill session feel more rewarding, sharpening aromas and deepening taste. Each chop develops a beautiful crust, sealing in juicy tenderness perfect for an evening shared with family and friends.

A brief brine followed by a simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and herbs brings out the pork's natural sweetness while ensuring every bite stays tender and moist. A touch of garlic and a hint of brown sugar help balance the smokiness, creating layers of flavor that feel rustic yet refined. The fat renders beautifully when cooked over steady heat, adding richness and depth without overpowering the meat's clean, hearty character. The result is a dish that's both comforting and sophisticated—a perfect match for the crisp days of fall.

Fall turns outdoor cooking into a ritual worth repeating. The steady glow of the grill balances the chill in the air, creating a space where conversation lingers and every meal feels earned. These pork chops bring together everything that makes autumn exceptional—hearty comfort, seasonal flavor, and time well spent under open skies.

Serves 4

Grilled Pork Chops Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. white wine or apple cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
• 2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 4 bone-in pork chops, 1 in. thick (about 2 3/4 lb.)

Grilled Pork Chops Directions

1. Prepare marinade: Stir together Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, rosemary, garlic, smoked paprika, and pepper in a small bowl.
2. Marinate the pork chops: Place the chops in a zip-top plastic bag, pour the marinade over them, and toss to coat. Chill 8-12 hours or until ready to cook.
3. Let the pork chops warm up while the grill preheats: Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them stand 30-45 minutes to come up to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high (450°F to 500°F).
4. Grill pork chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade, discarding the marinade and any pieces of garlic that may stick to them. Place the chops on oiled grates; grill, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium (350°F to 400°F). Cook, turning after 5 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 145°F, about 10-15 minutes.
5. Let rest and serve: Remove pork from grill and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
