Marinade for Grilled Italian Porkchops



Pork chops have to be one of the easiest meats to grill. The marinade packs a punch with some classic coastal Italian flavors while keeping the meat from drying out during cooking.
To prevent flair ups while grilling, keep a spray bottle of water handy during cooking. Spray the water onto the grill, avoiding the meat.

Marinade
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
juice and zest of 2 large oranges
2 tbs of fresh rosemary leaves, minced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teasp salt
1/4 teasp pepper
3/4 cup dry vermouth

6 pork loin chops

Place the chops in a gallon sized zip lock bag. Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl and pour over the chops. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat. Place in the frig overnight or at least 4 hours. Remove the chops from the marinade and let them come to room temperature.This will take about an hour. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper. Sear the chops on each side for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the grill and place on a warm plate. Cover with foil and let the chops rest before serving 5-7 minutes.
