Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp red wine vinegar to create the marinade.
Step 2: Place 4 bone-in pork chops in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove pork chops from marinade, letting excess drip off.
Step 4: Grill pork chops for 5-6 minutes per side, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 145°F and edges develop a nice char.
Step 5: Transfer chops to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
