Grilled Mediterranean Pork Chops
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage, crumbled
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 bay leaf, crumbled
  • 4 bone-in pork rib chops (not pork loin chops) - at least 1/2-inch thick
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
1
Combine the dried herbs, including sage, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf, with salt, sugar, and fennel in a bowl. Thoroughly blend the ingredients until they are well incorporated.
2
Next, apply the herb mixture evenly to both sides of the pork chops. Subsequently, brush them with olive oil to ensure they are adequately coated.
3
Place the pork chops in the refrigerator for an extended period, allowing them to marinate and absorb the flavors of the herb mixture. This step can be carried out several hours prior to grilling or overnight.
4
Prepare the grill by preheating it to medium heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
5
Once the grill is ready, place the pork chops on it and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side. The goal is to achieve a nicely browned exterior, visible grill marks, and a cooked interior that reaches an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
