Juicy Bone In Pork Chops Grilled Or Pan Sear Recipes

JUICY BONE IN PORK CHOPS (GRILLED OR PAN SEAR)

Steps:

• BRINE PORK CHOPS: Combine brine ingredients in a container large enough to let pork chops submerge in brine solution completely or a large ziploc bag. Swirl around to let salt dissolve. Submerge the pork chops. Cover (or zip up bag) and let them sit in fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Note 2. Remove the pork chops. Discard the brine. Rinse well and pat the pork chops dry with paper towels (very important!).
• GATHER GLAZE INGREDIENTS: Don't mix them together.
• PREPARE GRILL AND CHOPS: Clean grill grates and spray with oil. Or brush grates with a paper towel dipped in oil. Heat gas grill to medium-high heat (about 450F/232C). Brush pork chops with olive oil and mustard on both sides. Sprinkle lightly with salt (use more if brining period was short or if you skipped the brining). Sprinkle with pepper and dried rosemary.
• GRILL PORK CHOPS: Grill pork chops for about 2 - 4 minutes on first side. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of pork chops. Turn, then brush with half the marmalade. Grill another 2-4 minutes, just until the internal temperature reaches 140F/60C tested with an instant meat thermometer in thickest part of the meat not near bone (temp will rise to 145F/62/8C with resting). The important thing is not to overcook the chops. Pork should still have a bit of give or softness when pressed with a finger. Turn again for 1 minute to caramelize the marmalade if desired. Note 3 for pan/oven method. Remove from grill, place BBQ pork chops on cutting board or plate and let rest, tented loosely with aluminum foil, to keep warm for 5 minutes (or 10 minutes if chops are very thick). Resting is critical to juiciness and tenderness. It redistributes the juices in the meat to ensure a juicy pork chop.

JUICY GRILLED PORK CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel.
• In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
• Rub the marinade evenly all over the sides of the pork chops and place them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Allow them to marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
• Grill the pork chops on high for about 5 minutes on each side (the cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops). They are fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer.*
• Allow the pork chops to rest for 10 minutes before serving them, bringing them to 145°F.

PERFECTLY JUICY GRILLED PORK CHOPS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, vegetable oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, onion powder, and red pepper flakes to make a marinade.
• Place pork chops in a container or gallon-sized freezer bag and pour marinade on top.
• Place container in fridge and let pork chops marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably longer (up to 8 hours - the longer you can let it marinade, the more flavorful your pork chops will be).
• Preheat grill (or grill pan on stove top) to medium heat. Remove pork chops from the bag (discard marinade) and place pork chops on the grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, until the outside is seared and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
• Let pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving and enjoy!
