A delightful twist on classic pork chops with a zesty citrus glaze.
Combine the orange juice, sage, soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
Place the pork chops in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Ensure the pork chops are evenly coated with the marinade.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and set the marinade aside.
Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F.
While the pork chops are grilling, pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Boiling the marinade ensures it is safe to use as a glaze.
Serve the pork chops with the glaze spooned over the top. Garnish with additional sage leaves if desired.
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to retain their juices.
