Special Notes

This pork chop marinade adds incredible flavor and helps keep the meat tender. The combination of soy sauce, honey, and mustard creates a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors. The key is not to over-marinate the pork to prevent it from becoming mushy. You can customize this recipe by using different herbs or adjusting the heat level. This marinade is perfect for grilling, baking, or pan-frying pork chops.
