  • Prep 25 min
  • Total 55 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1.1 oz) mesquite marinade mix for the grill
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (1/2 inch thick)
  • 1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Steps

  • 1
    In large shallow dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix marinade mix, water and oil. Add pork chops and onion; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate 30 minutes to marinate.
  • 2
    Heat gas or charcoal grill.
  • 3
    When grill is heated, remove pork and onion from marinade; reserve marinade. Place pork and onion on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook 10 to 15 minutes, turning once and brushing frequently with marinade, until pork is no longer pink in center. Discard any remaining marinade.

  • Pork chops are already tender, so this marinade is used primarily to flavor the meat. Note that marinade times are shorter when tenderizing is not necessary.
