Grilled Rosemary Pork Chops

Ingredients:
4 pork chops
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Directions:
Salt and pepper the chops.  Combine all the other ingredients in a resealable gallon plastic bag and add the chops, tossing to coat.  Let chops marinate in fridge for at least 4 hours.  Remove from fridge and bring to room temperature before grilling.  Grill over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes per side for thick-cut chops, or 4-5 minutes per side for thinner cuts.  Internal temp should be 145ºF.
