Method

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the pork chops, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, vegetable oil, and garlic. Remove excess air from the bag and seal it tightly. Place the bag in the refrigerator and let it marinate for 4 to 24 hours.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Take the pork chops out of the marinade and transfer them directly to the grill. Dispose of the marinade.

  4. Grill the pork chops for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center is no longer pink. Use an instant-read thermometer to check if the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

  5. Alternatively, you can bake the pork chops in a covered oven at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees (70 degrees C). If desired, you can use some of the retained marinade while baking.
