Instructions
 

Pork Chops Preparation

  • Combine the Dijon mustard, honey, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper in a bowl. Whisk until well combined. Reserve 3 tablespoons of this marinade in a small bowl for finishing the pork later. Place the pork chops in a bowl or zip-top bag with the remaining marinade, making sure each chop is well coated. Marinate for 1 to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to bring it closer to room temperature.

Vegetables Preparation

  • While the pork is coming to room temperature, prepare your vegetables: cut the bell peppers into 1-inch wide strips, slice the zucchini into ½-inch thick rounds, trim the woody ends from the asparagus, and leave the corn ears whole.
  • In a large bowl, toss all the vegetables with 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Grilling

  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to 400°F and lightly oil the cooking surface. Place the pork chops on the grill and sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes until an instant-read thermometer reads 145°F.
  • During the final minute of cooking, brush the reserved marinade mixture onto the top of each pork chop.

Vegetables Grilling

  • Begin grilling the vegetables, starting with corn on the cob for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally. Next, add bell peppers for 6-8 minutes, zucchini for 5-7 minutes, and finally asparagus for 4-6 minutes.

Resting

  • Once the pork reaches 145°F, transfer it to a clean plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Finish brushing the pork with any remaining reserved marinade for extra flavor.
  • Plate the rested pork chops with the grilled vegetables and serve immediately.
