Indulge in these tender, juicy bone-in pork chops, infused with rich garlic butter for an unforgettable flavor. Thick-cut chops are ideal for grilling, as they hold up well to heat and stay wonderfully moist. This recipe uses a simple salt and pepper dry brine to lock in flavor, then finishes the pork chops to a perfect 145°F for a juicy, flavorful bite every time.
Ingredients
-
2 thick bone-in pork chops, about 1 1/2 inches thick (approximately 12 ounces each)
-
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
-
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, divided
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
-
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Directions
Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub each chop with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, ensuring even coverage on both sides. Place the seasoned chops on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours for best results.
Preheat the Grill: Set one side of your grill to medium-high heat, closing the lid to maintain a temperature of around 375-400°F.
First Sear: Place the pork chops over the medium-high heat side of the grill and sear for about 2 minutes on each side. Then, move the chops to the side of the grill with the burner off, allowing them to cook with indirect heat. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 120°F, starting to check at around 10 minutes.
Final Sear and Finish: Return the chops to the high-heat side and sear again on both sides, cooking until the internal temperature reads 145°F. Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes so the juices can redistribute.
Make the Garlic Butter: While the chops are resting, place a cast-iron skillet on the grill over medium heat. Melt the butter in the skillet, then add the garlic and parsley, sautéing until the garlic is fragrant and golden.
Serve: Drizzle the garlic butter over the rested pork chops and serve warm. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
We use Diamond Kosher Salt; if you are using Morton’s Kosher salt, REDUCE SALT TO 1 TEASPOON PER CHOP. Morton’s Kosher salt is a much finer grind and is saltier in nature than Diamond.
