Marinade for Pork Chops on Grill

This is my easy marinade for meat & vegetables. It has been my go-to marinade for pork chops on the grill for more than half my life! I just love this marinade for pork, steak, chicken, and veggies!

Why this marinade works

• This is a simple marinade for grilling that works with just about everything.
• A delicious marinade for pork chops on the grill, as well as any cut of steak, chicken and most veggies.
• This is great with mushrooms too!
• Use this for marinating meat & veggies for kebabs on the grill.
• Plus its just so easy to make!

My whole family likes the flavors of  this easy grilling marinade. You just have to love it when everyone agrees on something. No special orders, lol!

How to make it

• Grab a mason jar and make this marinade in 5 minutes.
• Simply combine all marinade ingredients in the jar and shake well.
• Pour it over your meat or veggies and allow it to marinate for as little as 30 minutes or up to 12 hours. See tips.

This easy-to-make marinade works with chicken, steaks, pork chops and pork tenderloins.  It even works great with tuna steaks and veggies!

Ingredients

• soy sauce
• Worcestershire sauce
• sherry
• garlic 

One Grilling Marinade to rule them all!

I often skewer meats and veggies after they have been marinated and grill them up.

Variations

• Add in red pepper flakes for spiciness.
• For more Asian flavor and heat, add in a teaspoon or more of chili with garlic sauce or Sriracha.
• For a little bit of sweetness, add in brown sugar or agave.
• For a taste of smokiness, add in smoked paprika.

Tips

• After marinating, place meats and/or vegetables directly on the grill or on a special grill basket (veggies).
• Grill in foil.
• Skewer meat onto metal or wood skewers (soaked in water first) and make kebabs. I prefer cooking meats and vegetables on separate skewers for even cooking. I pull them off the skewers and serve on a platter.
• Boil leftover marinade for 5 minutes, reducing it a bit. Place it in a gravy boat or small bowl and use it over meats, veggies, rice etc.
• Beef can sit in the marinade for 12 hours; pork chops, pork roasts, or pork tenderloins up to 6 hours; chicken up to 3 hours; and tuna steaks and vegetables need just 30 minutes.
• If salt is an issue always look for low sodium soy sauce.

Calories 73 kcal

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup soy sauce
• ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons sherry
• 5 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

 

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until mixture combines, or simply place ingredients in a large mason jar and give it a good shake.
• When ready to use the marinade, first season your meat/fish/vegetables with salt and pepper then pour the marinade over-top. Flip the protein/vegetables occasionally. Grill until done to your liking and serve with the additional boiled marinade if you choose. You can skewer the vegetables if you wish. I often will just throw the vegetables in foil. I leave the top opened (so they don’t get all mushy) and grill them — easy cleanup!
• Optional add ins: 1 tablespoon minced ginger or Sriracha for heat. For sweetness, add 2 tablespoons honey — remember to watch the meat while grilling since honey may cause a flare-up.

Notes

Beef can sit in the marinade for 12 hours; pork chops, pork roasts, or pork tenderloins up to 6 hours; chicken up to 3 hours; and tuna steaks and vegetables need just 30 minutes.

Look for low sodium soy sauce to cut down salt intake.
