When it comes to trying new recipes, I find so few that are keepers. This five ingredient pork chop marinade is one of those rare exceptions. It has found a permanent spot in our regular meal rotation because it is so easy AND delicious.
recipe adapted from Passionate Penny Pincher:
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons garlic powder or onion powder
4-6 bone in pork chops
Mix first four ingredients together and pour over pork chops.
Once the pork chops have soaked in the marinade for a few hours, remove them from the juices and place on a foil lined cookie sheet. I find that cooked soy sauce is so hard to scrub off dishes, so lining with foil is a big help with clean up. Bake in the oven on 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes depending on thickness.
I like to serve these with a green vegetable and baked sweet potatoes. It makes for a really simple, but flavorful meal.
Another thing I like to do with this meal is buy a bunch of pork chops from Costco, divide them up into Ziploc bags, double the marinade, and freeze. Then on a busy day all you have to do is pull them out of the freezer and bake.

oooh, I will pass this on to my best friend who is looking for pork chop recipes. And I am loving baked sweet potatoes these days!
ReplyDeleteI agree that so few recipes are keepers. I try new recipes fairly often, but they have to be really tested and loved to make it into my recipe box as a keeper - and even then, I weed out that box occasionally and toss recipes that have turned out not to suit us after all.
Looks wonderful and easy! Thank you for posting.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good; we love pork chops in our house.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite "cheater" items is the refrigerated mango salsa that Costco sells. I put chops/ chicken etc in the crock pot and add 1-2 cups of salsa. Cook on low all day.
Also really delicious when I toss in a can of draibed black beans.

Drained beans, that is!
