- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme or to taste
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mesquite-flavored seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare your pork chops by slicing them horizontally without cutting all the way through to create more surface area.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, lemon juice, spicy mustard, thyme, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, mesquite seasoning, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the marinade and pork chops in a resealable plastic bag; coat the chops thoroughly and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
