EASY GRILLED PORK CHOPS
Steps:
- Begin by making the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, oil, vinegar, cumin and red pepper flakes. Easy, right?
- Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and place in a re-sealable plastic bag with the marinade. Let rest on the counter for 1 hour. That's easy.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Remove the pork chops from the bag and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until the pork chop releases from the grill, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. If using a grill pan, be sure to do in batches so you don't steam the chops. And don't worry if you have neither; you can do this in a pan. See, easy!

Steps:
- Mix the lemon juice, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and basil together in a bowl. Pour about half the marinade into a resealable plastic zipper bag, and place the pork chops in the bag. Squeeze out the air, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best). Refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the chops from the bag, and discard the used marinade. Sprinkle chops with salt and black pepper. Grill the chops until browned and the meat is no longer pink inside, 20 to 25 minutes. Baste frequently with the reserved marinade, being sure to let the mixture cook onto the chops. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

GRILLED THICK CUT PORK CHOPS WITH SUMMER SALSA
Steps:
- 1. For the pork: Preheat a grill to medium and lightly oil the grate. In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons kosher salt, chili powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Divide mixture evenly among chops and rub all over.
- 2. Place the chops on hot grate over the flame and grill until marked and cooked halfway through, about 10 minutes. Turn the chops and move to a cooler area of the grill; cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Transfer chops to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes.
- 3. For the salsa: Meanwhile, brush the peach quarters with 1 teaspoon oil and place on the grill until marked and softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Roughly chop the peaches, about 3/4-inch pieces, and place in a medium bowl along with the tomatoes and red onion. Add 1/4 teaspoon zest to the bowl along with the lime juice, about 4 teaspoons. Add the herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the chops with the salsa.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
- Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help them retain moisture and flavor. You can brine the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Season the pork chops: Season the pork chops with your favorite spices and herbs. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
- Grill the pork chops over medium heat: Grill the pork chops over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest: Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices and flavor.
Conclusion:
Grilling pork chops is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and flavorful meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops are cooked perfectly and that they are packed with flavor.
