Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 garlic cloves sliced
  • 1 ½ - 1 ¾ lbs pork chops or pork steaks

Instructions
 

  • Combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, light brown sugar, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, and sliced garlic in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk well to combine.
  • Add the pork chops or steaks to the marinade and turn to cover. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for 8-24 hours. Turn the pork in the marinade periodically if desired.
  • Preheat the grill to medium heat.  Add the pork chops or steaks to the grill.  Pour half of the marinade sauce on top.  Reduce the grill heat to medium-low and cook the chops for 9-12 minutes, turning them every 3-4 minutes and pouring the rest of the marinade on them halfway through, or until the pork has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy hot!

Notes

  • To Store: Leftovers keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. 
  • To Freeze: Freeze marinated, uncooked, pork chops or steaks in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to 3 months.  Defrost in the refrigerator overnight before grilling.
  • To Reheat: Reheat pork chops in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven in an oven-safe pan covered in foil for 15-20 minutes.  Add a small amount of water to the pan to keep the pork chops from drying out. You can also reheat marinated pork chops in the air fryer.  Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, brush pork chops with olive oil, cook for 5 minutes, turn over, and cook for 5 additional minutes.  When reheating, make sure the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Gluten-Free: To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce and use a gluten-free Worcestershire sauce.
