Ingredients
Scale
- four 8 oz. pork chops
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon zest
- 2 tsp. dried Greek oregano
- 1 tsp. dried granulated garlic
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Greek oregano, garlic, and black pepper together.
- Trim excess fat from the pork chops and place them in a large Ziploc bag or flat glass dish.
- Pour the marinade over the pork chops and refrigerate for 4-8 hours, turning occasionally if possible.
- Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and allow them to reach room temperature while preheating your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Preheat outdoor grills for about 10 minutes, while the George Foreman grill only needs about 4 minutes.
- For criss-cross grill marks, place the pork chops diagonally on the grill, and rotate them when the first grill marks appear, usually after approximately 3 minutes.
- Cook pork chops on the grill, checking for doneness with an Instant-Read Meat Thermometer; they should reach an internal temperature of at least 145F/62C.
- Pork chops will take about 10-12 minutes on an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan, and around 5-6 minutes on a George Foreman grill, which cooks both sides at once.
- The pork chops should feel firm but not hard and have a slightly browned appearance when done.
- Serve Greek Pork Chops hot, and enjoy.

For best flavor, marinate the pork chops for the full 8 hours.
Adjust the amount of black pepper for a spicier or milder taste.
If you prefer, you can use dried lemon peel instead of fresh lemon zest.
