ingredients
Steps
Prep and Season
Remove pork chops from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sweet paprika. Rub the spice mixture generously on both sides of the pork chops, then drizzle them with olive oil.
Preheat Grill
Preheat your grill (charcoal, gas, or grill pan) to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, ensure it's hot and lightly oiled.
Grill the Chops
Place the seasoned pork chops on the hot grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until a nice golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops.
Rest and Serve
Remove the grilled pork chops from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board or plate. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This helps to keep the meat juicy. Serve with a fresh salad, roasted potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
Extra Tips
► Let the meat rest at room temperature for at least 15-20 minutes before grilling for more even cooking.
► Do not overcook the pork chop, as it can dry out; the internal temperature should reach 63°C (145°F) for perfect juiciness.
► Rest the meat for 5 minutes after grilling before slicing, allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the meat fibers.
