The fragrant marinade for these pork chops both infuses the meat with tons of flavor and ensures that the rib-cut chops, which already have slightly more fat than a center-cut chop, remain tender and moist on the grill. The sugar in the marinade helps to create a beautiful dark golden brown crust with areas of light charring. Once the chops are on the grill, refrain from moving them around too often in order to allow grill marks to form. If you'd like, grill some asparagus and sliced sweet potatoes as well to round out your meal.

When the day has been busy or I just don’t want to have to fuss over the stove, sheet pan recipes are my go-tos. While dinner roasts in the oven, the table can be set, a DuoLingo streak can be managed, or a cocktail can be mixed. If I am feeling industrious, I can quickly clean up the cutting board and any bowls I may have used.
