How to Make Adobo Pork Chops
- Trim excess fat from 4 (1-inch thick) pork chops.
- Place pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the following marinade ingredients: 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin.
- Pour the marinade over the pork chops in the bag. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), turning once halfway through.
- Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
