This recipe features juicy bone-in pork chops marinated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard blend, grilled to perfection, and topped with a fresh herb butter for a delicious finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chopped chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Place pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 1 to 2 hours.
  3. While pork marinates, combine softened butter with chopped parsley, thyme, chives, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside at room temperature.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove pork chops from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill chops for 5-6 minutes per side, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  6. Transfer pork chops to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  7. Serve pork chops topped with a generous spoonful of the prepared herb butter, allowing it to melt over the warm meat.

Notes

Marinate pork chops for 30 minutes to 2 hours to avoid mushy texture. Pat chops dry before grilling to ensure good sear. Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. Let meat rest after grilling for juicy results. Watch for flare-ups due to honey marinade and manage heat accordingly.
