Grilled Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 4 Thick cut bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 1/4 cup Cup olive oil
- 2 tsp Chopped fresh Rosemary
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tsp Coarse salt
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 Whole lemon zest
Instructions
Seasoning the Pork Chops
- Make a small slice about every 2 inches on the edge of the pork chops to prevent curling while cooking.
- In a bowl, stir together olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Spoon the rub over the pork chops, coating one side. Flip and repeat, ensuring even coverage.
Cooking Over Fire
- Build your fire and place a cast iron skillet over the coals.
- Drizzle some of the excess olive oil mixture into the skillet. Add more Olive Oil if necessary to equal about 2 tbsp.
- Once hot, add the pork chops, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Sear for 2 minutes, then flip. Repeat this process until the internal temperature reaches 135°F.
- Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Optional: Finish with a squeeze of the leftover lemon and a light dusting of your SPG rub.
