Ingredients

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon mesquite-flavored seasoning
½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large pork chops

Instructions

Prepare the pork chops by slicing them horizontally without cutting all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients: olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, lemon juice, mustard, thyme, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, mesquite seasoning, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper.
Pour the marinade into a resealable bag and add the pork chops. Seal tightly and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chops from marinade and grill for about 8 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Let rest before serving.
