Ingredients

4
bone-in pork rib chops (about 1-inch thick)
Garnish: 2 tablespoons/30 mL fresh tarragon leaves (or flat leaf parsley) chopped
For Rub:
2
teaspoons/10 mL sea salt
2
teaspoons/10 mL onion powder
1
teaspoon/5 mL marjoram
½
teaspoon/2.5 mL black pepper
¼
teaspoon/1.25 mL garlic powder
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL herbes de provence
For Glaze:
½
cup/120 mL real maple syrup
¼
cup/60 mL Dijon mustard
1
tablespoon/15 mL olive oil

Step 1
Gather the ingredients.
Step 2
Preheat the grill for high heat. In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup with Dijon mustard and olive oil. Set aside.
Step 3
Combine salt, onion, and garlic powder, marjoram, pepper, and herbes de provence (if using) and evenly pat onto both sides of pork chops. Place onto grill and cook for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Step 4
During the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking, brush on maple glaze. Cook for 1 minute, turn and repeat the process. (Make sure to keep a close eye during this phase as the sugar content in maple syrup can cause flare-ups.)
Step 5
Once chops are cooked through, remove from heat and place onto a platter. Let rest for 5 minutes and garnish with chopped tarragon or parsley leaves.
