Grilled Greek Pork Chops

Last weekend the hubs and I headed to Lee’s Summit, MO for the Smokin’ on the Summit BBQ event. We had such a great time.  The Smithfield’s Get Grilling America campaign was there, so you can imagine all of the grilling, smoking and basting that was going on.  Pure bliss!

Smokin’ on the Summit BBQ Event

Chatting with some of the amazing competitors and capturing them in action was a treat — and they were of all ages (from kids to retired folks).  Thankfully, it was a beautiful day and our senses were in overload. We left feeling inspired and ready to fire up the grill when we got home.

While I worked on my Greek Pork Chops, the hubs was out preparing for a day of smoking ribs.  Dinner was pretty amazing that night as we enjoyed both the Greek Pork Chops and smoked ribs.

Ingredients

Pork Chops

• 4 Smithfield boneless pork chops approximately 1/4" thick
• 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 4 tsp. lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground mustard

Toppings

• Greek Yogurt Dip or Tzatziki sauce
• Feta Cheese
• Kalamata Olives

Instructions

• In a large resealable bag, mix first eight ingredients. Add pork chops; seal bag and shake or turn to coat. Refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight.
• Remove chops from bag and discard extra marinade (or keep for basting).
• Grill chops, covered, over direct heat on high 2 1/2 minutes on each side.
  
• Allow pork chops rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Please don't overcook your pork. Grill it like a steak to get a tender, juicy product. Cook pork chops to an internal temperature between 145º F and 160º F, followed by a three minute rest (as stated above).

Serve with Greek bread and hummus on the side!  Grill up a vegetable and dinner is served.
