    I love Pork Chops. They are an easy meal to make and go with a ton of different sides. Pork Chops though can be kind of bland and boring though. I love this Pork Marinade as it really enhances the pork flavor and makes these pork chops full of flavor with a nice crispy crust. This marinade is not just great on pork chops. It is a great marinade for pork loin as well!

    How long do you marinade pork for?

    This simple marinade really brings great flavor to the pork. I recommend a minimum of 1 hour to marinade the pork in, but you can also let it set for 24 hours if you would like! The pork will soak in the marinade and when baked a really nice crust will form.

    How to make Pork Marinade:

    This marinade is very easy to make. Just mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Mix well so the brown sugar dissolves. Pour the marinade in a large Zip-lock baggie and add your pork chops.

    Let sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour. When ready to bake, pour the entire bag into your baking dish. Make sure the pork chops are spread out and not overlapping. Bake and serve with your favorite side dishes!

    Ingredients:

    • Soy Sauce
    • Brown Sugar
    • Worcestershire Sauce
    • Dijon Mustard
    • Garlic Powder
    • Italian Seasoning
    • Salt and Pepper
    • Pork Chops

    ingredients for pork marinade.

    Directions:

    Step One - Pour all marinade ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine.

    making the marinade in a glass bowl.

    Step Two - Place pork chops in a large baggy or into a casserole dish. Pour marinade over pork chops.

    Step Three - Seal bag or cover dish with foil. Place in the fridge to marinade 1-2 hours or overnight.

    Cooking Directions:

    • Oven: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake in a casserole dish uncovered for 20-25 minutes. Until pork reached an internal temperature of 140 degrees. Let rest for 5 minutes and then serve.
    • Grill: Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Place pork chops directly into the grill and cover and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side. Until pork reached an internal temperature of 140 degrees. Let rest for 5 minutes and then serve.
    • Stove Top: Heat a cast-iron pan over medium high heat. Add butter or oil to your heated pan. Place pork chops in pan. Cook for 1 minute on each side then reduce heat to medium. Cook for an additional 8-10 minuets flipping the pork chops every 1-2 minutes. Cook until pork reached an internal temperature of 140 degrees. Let rest for 5 minutes and then serve.

    Can this marinade be stored?

    If you make a large batch and keep it in a container, store in the fridge for about 1 month. Any marinade you have used with the pork needs to be discarded.

    What other seasoning or flavors can you add to this marinade?

    This seasoning can be changed with slight variations to give your pork some nice flavors. Add some red pepper flakes for some heat. Add lemon juice and zest instead of Italian seasoning for some lemon pepper flavors.

    Serve some of these with pork chops:
