Servings: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
For the pork chops and marinade:
- 4 boneless pork loin chops (about 6–8 ounces each and ¾- to 1-inch thickness)
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (may substitute lemon juice or white wine vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons pure honey
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos*
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced (may substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Honey Mustard Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon pure honey
- 2 teaspoons coconut aminos*
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Make the marinade: In a small bowl or mason jar with a lid, combine the vinegar, honey, oil, coconut aminos, garlic, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake to combine well, and set aside.
- Marinate the pork: Place the pork chops in a large zip top bag or container. Pour the marinade over them, and turn pork chops to coat. Marinate the pork chops in the refrigerator for 4-8 hours for best flavor (not less than 30 minutes and not longer than 10 hours).
- Grill the pork chops: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is heated, remove the pork chops from the marinade (and discard the marinade). Place pork chops on the grill. Grill pork chops, covered, for 8-12 minutes per side (cook time will depend on the thickness of the chops) or until the internal temperature reaches 145°. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Make the sauce: While the pork chops are grilling, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon, honey, coconut aminos, garlic powder, and thyme. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Serve the grilled pork chops with the Honey Mustard Sauce drizzled over top. If desired, garnish with parsley or fresh thyme.
