Expert Tips That I Recommend
- You need to marinate it for 6-8 hours to develop deeper flavor in the pork. Marinating for a longer duration also makes the pork tender.
- Make sure you get rid of the excess marinade before grilling so that it browns nicely and not just steams.
- Always grill the pork in oil lightly instead of adding too much oil to it. The greasing helps in proper cooking, and the chops do not stick to the grill.
- The marinade contains sugar, so you need to grill over moderate heat so that the outside does not burn.
- Choose evenly thick pork chops, as similar size helps in finishing cooking at the same time.
Recipe Variation for Different Diets
- Keto Version: Swap regular vinegar with white vinegar, and add monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar. Double-check if mustard has any added sugar or not.
- Gluten-Free Version: You can add regular vinegar with apple cider vinegar; check if the mustard is gluten-free or not.

Storing
