Pork Chop

Charred Broccolini

Gremolata

Method

Preparing the Pork Chop

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    Pat the Berkshire pork chop dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of garlic powder. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chop. Drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil over the chop and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Prepare your wood-fired grill by lighting the wood and allowing the fire to reach a high temperature. Aim for a temperature of about 450°F (232°C) for optimal grilling.

  3. 3

    Grill the Pork Chop

    Once the grill is ready, place the seasoned pork chop on the grill grates. Grill for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Preparing the Charred Broccolini

  1. 4

    Season the Broccolini

    In a mixing bowl, combine the broccolini with 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of red pepper flakes. Toss until the broccolini is evenly coated.

  2. 5

    Char the Broccolini

    Place the seasoned broccolini on the grill when there are about 4-5 minutes left for the pork chop to finish. Grill the broccolini for about 3-4 minutes until charred and tender, turning occasionally.

Preparing the Gremolata

  1. 6

    Mix the Gremolata

    In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp of lemon zest. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt to taste. Stir well to combine.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Slice the rested pork chop and plate it alongside the charred broccolini. Drizzle the gremolata over the pork chop and serve immediately.
