Grilled Pork Chops Recipe
These zesty grilled pork chops are juicy, tender, and jam-packed with flavor as they are cooked to perfection over the open flame.
Ingredients
- 1 Mexican spice blend recipe
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 10- ounce thick cut bone-in pork chops
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high heat (450° to 550°).
- Mix the olive oil with 2 tablespoons of the rub on a plate until combined, and dredge the pork in the seasoning rub.
- Let sit for 20 minutes and then place directly onto a hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until grill marks have formed and reached an internal temperature of 135°-140°.
- Remove the pork from the grill and rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten as soon as they’re resting.
How to Reheat: I like to add the pork chops with a little bit of chicken stock to a large frying pan covered in foil and cook it in the oven at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes or until hot. This will help keep it moist. You can also re-grill them on high heat (450° to 550°) for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until hot.
How to Store: These grilled pork chops will refrigerate well covered in plastic, lasting up to 4 days. In addition, this will also freeze well covered in plastic for up to 2 months.
It’s always important to rest any cooked meat so that the juices can soak back into it, making it more tender and flavorful.
Reheating your pork will 100% cause it to increase in internal temperature, most likely start to overcook it and make it less juicy and tougher.
You may need to add more oil and spice blend to the plate after a few pork chops have been coated to ensure the remaining uncoated pork chops are correctly seasoned.
