Grilled Pantry Pork Chops Recipe

April 22nd, 2011 Nancy

About a year ago, someone gave us a frozen pork loin that was as long as my 4 year old is tall!   I have seriously never seen anything like it.  I said “Thank you!”  and put it in the deep freeze.  And there it sat.  For a year.  With spring in the air, I decided that monster in my basement would make some delicious grilled boneless pork chops.   I defrosted and sliced the meat and divided it into gallon size baggies with marinades.

 

We grilled some that night but the others we put back in the freezer for later.  Don’t worry, it came straight from the butcher so it can be refrozen.  I love grilling out but I often forget to marinade the meat.  Having the meat already in the marinade and in the freezer is a wonderful solution.  When I defrost the meat it marinates!

 

Grilled Pantry Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 pork chops, about 1 1/4 inches thick each
Directions:
1. Whisk together the ingredients and pour into a gallon size baggie.
2. Add the pork, seal the bag and mush it around.

5.  Grill on high heat for 3 minutes on each side.
6. Turn the grill down to medium and cook until the juices run clear.

    We eat a ton of pork, so I’m always willing to try new recipes. This sounds really delish.

    We like to get a boneless pork loin and divide it, sliced, into gallon bags like you said. Your marinade looks like it will be so good with pork, and really easy.
