Alpine Pork Chops
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
- Marinate the Pork Chops:
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to overnight for best flavor).
- Preheat the Grill or Skillet:
- If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Pork Chops:
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off.
- Grill or sear the chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Cooking time may vary based on thickness.
- Let the chops rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve:
- Serve the Alpine Pork Chops with lemon wedges for a fresh squeeze of flavor. Pair them with sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
Enjoy your delicious Alpine Pork Chops! They’re perfect for a hearty meal that’s full of flavor!
