The Best Pork Chop Marinade is easy to make and perfect for any preparation of pork chops whether they are pan fried, baked, smoked, or grilled - you'll get juicy and tender results every time!
Place pork chops into a resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, make the marinade by whisking together olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Pour marinade into the bag and over the pork chops. Seal and turn the bag gently to coat the chops in the marinade. Transfer to the fridge to marinate for 2-8 hours.
To cook, preheat an oven-safe heavy skillet over high heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chops from the bag and discard the marinade.
Sear the chops for 2 minutes on each side and then immediately transfer the skillet with the chops to the oven. (Alternatively, transfer the chops to a baking dish.) Bake until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit, about 15 minutes.
Remove the chops from the oven and set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
