Grilled Pork Chop No Marinade
Ingredients:
– 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 2 teaspoons paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– Optional: fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C). Make sure to clean the grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
2. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful dry rub for the pork chops.
3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to help the seasoning adhere better. Drizzle both sides of the pork chops with olive oil, then generously rub the dry spice mixture over each chop, ensuring even coverage.
4. Once the grill is preheated, place the seasoned pork chops onto the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
5. Avoid flipping the pork chops more than once to achieve those beautiful grill marks and juicy results. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness without overcooking.
6. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. This step is essential for a moist and tender pork chop.
7. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and extra freshness. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
