Steps

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
