They taste just like steak and are SO EASY to make! Additionally, oven broiled chops are an option.

Tasty, quick and easy peasy to make!
Wow. Great flavor to these. Let marinate over night and cooked in my cast iron skillet due to no grill at my apartment. We really enjoyed!
So ample and so perfect. I cooked on a charcoal grill and used the same marinade for zucchini on skewers. Yummy
These pork chops were okay. I was looking for a marinade that didn’t include soy sauce, so figured I’d give this a try. Only marinating for a few hours. If I make again, I’ll try marinating them longer.
Yummy! I added a bit of dijon, honey, and Worcestershire. I know some people don’t like tweaks, but I do. I had two 1 1/2 inch thick boneless chops. I marinated them for about 4-5 hours and grilled them on the BBQ. Lovely. When weather isn’t good for grilling, cooking them in a cast iron pan on the stovetop is just as good!
yum yum yum I followed the suggestion to massage the pork it was great
We liked. Made exactly as directed, except left out salt and didn’t have enough marinade left to boil for basting.
This really is a great recipe. I only have one minor complaint, and that is the marinade time. The problem lies that after about 2 hours the acid in the marinade begins to cook the meat. The process is called denaturing. Marinades that contain citrus juices, especially lemon or lime juice, should be used for only 2 hours or less. Foods left too long in these blends can change color and texture.
2 hour marinade wasn’t enough for me to get the extra taste I was expecting … think next time I’ll prepare in the morning for that day’s dinner.
Fantastically simple and delicious
I made it just how the recipe states. I don’t measure much when it comes to herbs and spices and tend to add more than the recipe calls for. The whole family loved it.
Made as written and our pork chops came out very moist/tender. Marinated for 4 hours, but the flavors didn’t do much for us. I couldn’t get past the lemon flavor either. Rating of 3 stars as hubs didn’t have this lemon flavor issue, but he felt they were lacking in flavor overall. I rated it a 2, while he rates it a 3. Recipe is easy to make though and again…results in tender pork chops.
Wife and I enjoyed this Daughter was not as impressed, but she for the most part does not like meat or lemon 😀
I accidentally used sage instead of oregano but it still turned out excellent.
Very easy and simple – HOWEVER for those who are doing Whole30 – vegetable oil isn’t compliant. Substitute with your favorite approved oil such as EVOO or my favorite Avacado oil.
This was a huge hit!
Great flavour, I will definitely make this again.
I did a mix of herbs I grow on my urban patio. Together with the lemon, they wet so tender and tasty. I also rounded up on garlic. Yum!!
Nothing special. I love garlic, lemon and olive oil marinade for chicken. Does nothing for the pork chops and I bought nice thick ones for the BBQ
My hubby and I both agree – these are the best pork chops we have ever eaten. Super juicy and wonderful lemon taste.
Perfect lemon flavor make these chops juicy.
