This marinade is absolutely amazing! If you aren't a big fan of onions, don't worry. The mix blends so well with the other ingredients that not a single one stands out above the others. Think of this marinade like the harmony of a talented a cappella choir :)
Ingredients
1 envelope of Onion Soup Mix
1/2 cup soy sauce (I use reduced-sodium)
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp lime juice (I usually go a little over this)
1 tsp (or more) ground ginger
4 boneless lean pork chops (about 4 oz each)
Directions
-Place all ingredients except for the pork chops in a gallon-sized zip lock bag and seal it closed. Use your hands to shake and massage the ingredients until they seem to become one liquid, although a little chunky.
-Add the chops to the marinade and place in the refrigerator for at least two ours. I suggest doing it in the evening and leaving them in the fridge overnight. Make sure you shake it up a little bit each time you open the fridge. The chops will turn a darker color due to the soup mix and soy sauce; it's okay!
-Preheat your grill to about 350 degrees. Make sure to spray it with grill spray or oil it down with olive oil ahead of time to help reduce the chance of sticking. These chops will be sticky!
-When the grill is ready, add the cops and cook. Cook them for about four minutes on each side, flipping only once.
