- 4 Pork loin chops

- 1.5 cups Cherry Ginger Salsa
Instructions

- Take the marinated pork loin chops out of the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow to come to room temperature.
- Preheat grill, place marinated five spiced pork loin chops on the grill. Season both sides with steak seasoning (or salt and pepper or Mrs. Dash) to taste. Cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side total of 8 minutes depending on the thickness of your pork loins. The goal is to bring your pork to 145 degrees F internal temperature and then take off grill and let rest for 5 minutes. If you have bone in chops they will need a few more minutes longer to cook.
