Grilled Pork Chops

Now that is a pork chop!
Grilled pork chops are fairly easy to grill up and don't take a long time to cook. I use my gas grill for this most the time for ease and because it has a searing burner. A searing burner is usually a long burner with flames on both side that throws out a lot of heat at once. I turn the burners on with the searing burner and when I am ready to grill, I sear the chops on both sides for about 3 minutes. That will close the pours of the meat and hold in the flavor and juices more. This method works very well on steaks as well.

Ingredients

  • 4 - center cut extra thick pork chops
  • seasoned salt
  • pepper
  • Italian dressing
  • Weber Chicago Steak Seasoning
  • 2- large zip lock bags

The key to this meat is preparation. If frozen, let thaw first. Fresh chops are the best of you have a local meat market close by.

1. Place 2 chops per zip lock bag
2. Pour or squirt Italian Dressing in each bag to cover the chops with some excess.
3. Close up the bag and move the chops around by turning the bag up and down to get the dressing all over the pork.
4. Chill over night in the fridge.
5. On grill day, place the chops in a pan and season with seasoned salt lightly
6. Add a little pepper as well to each chop
7. With the Chicago Steak seasoning, completely cover one side of each pork chop.
8. Place on the grill, searing burner first for 3 minutes each side.
9. Remove from searing burner to the regular grill grate area
10. Cook on low heat with the lid down for 15 minutes each side
11. Using a food thermometer cook until the center reaches 160 degrees F
NOTE: I highly recommend a gauge or digital food thermometer for grilling
12. Remove from grill and serve
