2 10-12 oz pork chops bone in or boneless (I used Tomahawk but regular chops work the same)
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper if using table black pepper reduce to ½ teaspoon
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon onion fine dice
1 teaspoon garlic minced
1 teaspoons Italian parsley for garnish

Place the pork chops in a baking dish or resealable ziplock bag.
In a small or medium mixing bowl whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, lemon zest, salt, pepper, onion and garlic.
Pour the marinade over the pork chops, making sure to coat the chops. Let the pork chops marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 12 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill to 350 degrees.
You can use a grill pan instead of a gas grill.
Place the pork chops on the hot grill.
Cook the chops for 6-8 minutes per side or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop registers 140 degrees.
If you prefer a more well done pork chop, let the temperature reach 150 degrees.
Meat temperatures will continue to rise 7-10 degrees after removing from the heat.
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to flow back into the chop.
Garnish with Italian parsley to add a touch of color to the plate.
