Ingredients

• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 1 lime, juiced
• cracked black pepper to taste
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
• 8 boneless pork chops, 1/2 inch thick

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together the vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, seafood seasoning, minced garlic, basil, lime juice, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, flipping periodically.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the pork chops from the bags. Discard excess marinade.

Step 3

Grill until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
