Step 1: Prepare the Marinade- In a mixing bowl, whisk together Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. This flavorful marinade will be the key to infusing the pork chops with deliciousness. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 2: Marinate the Pork Chops- Place the pork chops in a ziplock bag or an airtight container. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, resulting in tender and flavorful pork chops.
Step 3: Preheat the Grill or Skillet- If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop skillet, heat it over medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates or skillet are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Cook the Pork Chops- Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the pork chops on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
Step 5: Rest and Serve- Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill or skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy pork chops. Serve the Texas Roadhouse Pork Chops hot, with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
