Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork chops: Select thick-cut bone-in pork chops for the best flavor and juiciness.
- Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, herbs, and spices will help tenderize and flavor the meat.
- Grill the pork chops over medium heat: This will help prevent the pork chops from burning and allow them to cook evenly throughout.
- Baste the pork chops with the marinade while grilling: This will help keep the pork chops moist and flavorful.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy chop.
Conclusion:
Lemon Tarragon Grilled Pork Chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or weeknight meal. The marinade infuses the pork chops with a bright and herbaceous flavor, while the grilling process creates a beautiful sear and smoky aroma.
