Method

Preparation

In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Place the pork chops in a ziplock bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them.
Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 4 hours.

Cooking

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the pork chops for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through.
Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Allowing the marinade to work its magic for a few hours greatly enhances the flavor. Leftover pork chops can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
