METHOD:

Combine Marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
Using a gallon size disposable bag, add pork chops and marinade and seal. Set the bag into a bowl to catch leaks, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Remove the pork from the bag and drain the excess marinade.
Place the chops on the Cinder Grill and close the lid. Using the Cinder App, set the temperature to 140°F.
When the chops have come to temperature, remove them from the Cinder and wipe the plates with a damp kitchen towel or paper towels.
Adjust setting to sear and allow to come to temperature.
Gently rub olive oil on the pork chops and sear with lid closed for 45 seconds.
Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5-8 minutes before slicing.

Note: Pork is safe to eat at 145°F. By cooking to 140°F and then searing the final temperature should exceed 145°F while the meat remains both juicy and cooked through.
