Pork Chops with Herb Rub

Marjoram, an aromatic herb that tastes like a mild version of oregano, is the key ingredient in the rub that makes these grilled pork chops so tasty.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 3 ounces pork per serving

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 center loin pork chops (about 4 ounces each if boneless, 6 ounces each with bone), cut 1/2 inch thick, all visible fat discarded

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the grill on medium high or preheat the broiler.

    Step 2

    In a small bowl, stir together all the ingredients except the pork. Sprinkle over both sides of the pork. Using your fingertips, gently press the mixture so it adheres to the pork.

    Step 3

    Grill the pork or broil about 4 inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until browned on the outside and slightly pink in the center.
