Ingredients

• 1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
• 4 (6 ounce) thin-cut bone-in pork chops
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste (Optional)
• ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Season both sides of the pork chops with cayenne pepper and black pepper and lightly poke with a fork to make a few holes. Place pork in a casserole dish, pour soy sauce over top, and add garlic. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning halfway through.

Step 3

Remove chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 4

Place chops on the preheated grill and reduce heat to medium. Cook until no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
