Blackstone Pork Chops

Juicy, flavorful, and fast to make, these Blackstone Pork Chops are my go-to dinner when I need something delicious, easy, and quick. The pork is marinated in a citrus-herb blend that flavors every bite of tender pork chops. We like to cook these on our Blackstone griddle because the chops get a nice golden sear, but stay tender on the inside. Perfect for feeding a crowd, and cleanup is easy since everything happens on the griddle.

Blackstone Pork Chops

As much as I LOVE a good pork chop, the marinade is really the star of this dish. We use fresh lemon, minced garlic, honey, and thyme for a mix of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors. After a few hours of marinating, the pork is seasoned before hitting a hot griddle. The result is a crisp exterior, tender center, and incredible flavors.

These pork chops pair easily with a wide range of sides like rice, steamed vegetables, or even a quick salad. Add your favorite sauces and garnishes, and you have a full plate everyone will enjoy!

FAQ

How should I store leftovers?

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on a skillet or griddle to maintain moisture. The microwave can also be used.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. Marinate the pork up to 24 hours in advance. You can also cook the chops and reheat them later. Just be careful not to overcook during reheating.

What can I use instead of a Blackstone griddle?

A cast iron skillet or stovetop griddle works well. You won’t get quite the same outdoor flavor, but the results are still delicious.

Can I swap ingredients in the marinade?

Yes. Lime juice can replace lemon, and dried herbs can stand in for fresh in a pinch. Just reduce the quantity of dried herbs by half.
