Ingredients

Pork chops
4, bone-in or boneless
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Dried oregano
2 tablespoons
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach optimal cooking temperature.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful spice blend.
  3. Rub the pork chops generously with olive oil on both sides to ensure moisture and flavor.
  4. Sprinkle the oregano and garlic mixture evenly over the pork chops, pressing it into the meat for maximum flavor infusion.
  5. Place the pork chops on the grill and cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for optimal juiciness.
  6. Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This step is crucial for retaining the juices.
  7. Serve the oregano and garlic pork chops hot, paired with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the pork chops in the olive oil, garlic, and oregano mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • 💡 Feel free to experiment with fresh herbs if available; fresh oregano can enhance the flavor even more.
  • 💡 These pork chops pair beautifully with a tangy chimichurri sauce for an added kick.
