Grilled Pork Chops

There is not much better or easier than a grilled pork chop. Pork and a grill just go together. Start with a simple brine followed by a short grilling and your in “hog heaven”  so to speak.

Let’s talk chops for a minute. I like to use an inch thick slice of pork loin as my “pork chop”. Buy a whole or part of a loin and cut 1 to 1 1/2 inch slices. You can asuse them for pork chops, for shredded Mexican or they freeze great.

This method would be fine for the more traditional bone in chop but it is the thickness that matters. This is for 1 to 1 1/2 inches. If you have the normal American pre-cut 3/4 inch chop, it will cook a lot faster. Do it over high heat about 4 minutes per side and then check the temperature.

I have gone back and forth here. A high 4 or low 5… but I love me some pig.

Notes: Skip the brine for speed but it does add some moisture and avoids that “dry pork” thing that is easy to get.  I added some garlic to the brine since we must have garlic at our house. Eliminate it or add other flavors of you want.

This should work fine on a charcoal grill as well as a gas grill. Just the heat down a little from maximum. 

Trim a couple of 1 to 1 1/2 inch pork chops. I like 1 inch center cut pork loin “chops” well trimmed.

Mix brine in 1 gallon zip lock: 2 cups cold water, 2 T table salt, 2 T
brown sugar and 1 t garlic powder (optional), Mix well and submerge the pork. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Salt note: 2 tablespoon of table salt is 3 T of Diamond kosher salt or 4 T of Morton kosher salt.

When ready to cook, preheat grill to medium high (about 450 surface temperature). Rinse the pork under running water.
Pat dry, add pepper to taste. Do not add salt if you did the brine. If you skipped the brine, also add salt.

Grill on a well oiled grill for about 5 minutes per side initially then flip about every 5 minutes aiming for an internal temperature of 145-150. About 20-25 minutes depending on grill and thickness. If you want BBQ than add sauce the last 5 minutes.

Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes or a little more before serving.

Easy Crock Pot Pork Chops with Gravy

Fall apart tender pork chops covered with gravy. It makes your mouth water. All in an easy slow cooker recipe.

I started with a whole pork loin. Trim the fat cap for health and cut into 1 inch slices. Add a nice brown in a pan before loading them into a crock pot with onion, green pepper and garlic. Add some broth for moisture and cook until fall apart tender. Then make a simple gravy with the liquid.

Rating:

A nice medium 4. This is an easy cook that will be hard not to like.

Notes: I always use thick slices of pork loin for my “pork chops”. It is easy to remove the fat and make them reasonably health.

Of course easy to double or triple in a larger slow cooker.

 Start a couple of 1 inch pork chops. I’m using trimmed slices of pork loin. Salt and pepper to taste.

 Heat 1 t oil over medium high heat. When hot, add the chops and brown each side for 3-4 minutes to get the color you like and add some taste.

 While pork is browning, slice one medium onion and one green pepper. Also mince or crush 2 cloves of garlic.

Add half the veggies and garlic to the bottom of a small crock pot. I used a 3 1/2 quart. Add the pork on top, add the remaining of the veggies and garlic. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and 1/2 t Worcestershire sauce.

Cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or double that on low.

For gravy, mix 4 tablespoons of corn starch or twice as much flour in 1 cup of cold water. Move the chops to a plate and pore the liquid in a pan over medium high heat and bring to a light boil. Slowly pore in the thickening liquid while stirring vigorously until starting to thicken. At that point, stop adding the thickener and continue to stir and simmer for a few minutes until gravy is done. Add salt and pepper to taste.
