Pork Chops

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork Chops

    In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Place the seasoned pork chops in a shallow dish. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and sprinkle fresh rosemary on top. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a little extra olive oil if needed.

  2. 4

    Cook the Pork Chops

    Remove the pork chops from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the chops on the grill or skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
