Which is the best way to grill pork chops so they are juicey and flavorful?

Answer 1

Here is how we do it in restaurants....

Get your grill hot, also get your over hot, 400deg. For 1/2 to 3/4" chops, season with whatever you like, believe it or not the most simple is, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Remember, pork has the best natural flavor, it do not need a lot of extra junk on it to taste great! Put Little oil on them (both sides), put on the grill. You are just going to "mark" them, yes the will pick up the "grill" flavor. About a minute on both side, transfer to a baking sheet pan, add a little butter and oil to the pan so that it wont bake dry. Finish in the over for 8-10 minutes until med-rare to medium, its will carry over to medium. that is the proper temp for chop, not "well done".
For some reason a lot of people are still afraid of pork not cook to death, 50 years age yes, not anymore.....
Hope this helps......

Just keep in mind four quick steps: Season the meat, sear it, make a sauce as you deglaze the pan and finish the meat in the sauce.

Lean pork chops should never be cooked to well done. Because they don't have generous fat and marbling, they're easily overcooked. The challenge is to turn out juicy chops with an appetizingly browned exterior and a slightly pink center.

First, select the right chops. Look for the lean, high-quality chops that are more widely available these days. Choose either medium (3/4 inch to 1 inch) or thick (1 1/2 inches to 2 inches) chops for recipes that call for pan-searing and finishing the chops in the sauce. Thin (less than 3/4 inch) chops will overcook before they brown. These are better simply seasoned and grilled fast on high heat.

Cooking time varies according to the cut of chop, whether it is boneless or bone-in, and the amount of fat along the outside edge. Fat takes longer to cook, so trim off excess fat. Bone-in pork chops will take a little longer than boneless chops.

If you are cooking meat that you've just purchased, it should be tempered and ready to cook by the time you're home. If the meat has been refrigerated, season it and let it stand for half an hour before cooking.

To sear pork chops, heat equal amounts butter and olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet. The high heat is needed to get a good sear in a short amount of time. Combining butter and olive oil will help prevent the butter from burning. Cook the chops three to six minutes per side.

Don't worry if they're red in the center at this stage; they'll continue to cook after being removed to a plate and covered in foil.

Next, deglaze the pan with wine, broth or water, scraping up any nicely browned bits of meat. Add any additional sauce ingredients. Finishing the chops in the sauce means just that — a brief heating to marry the flavors of the sauce and the pork. Don't get distracted and walk away; the chops should only cook for one to eight minutes depending on the thickness of the chops. Even two or three additional minutes can dry out the chop.

To test for doneness, make a tiny cut. If the juices run clear or very light pink, the pork chop is done.

Answer 3

Marinade them for about half an hour then keep them on the outside of the grill or where the heat is the lowest to slow cook them. They will melt in your mouth.

Answer 4

Marinate them...Pork dries out pretty easily, so do a quick very hot sear, to seal the outside, and then turn the heat down....another secret is not to turn them too many times...turning once is ideal, but very difficult to do, and cook them properly, so just go easy...

Answer 5

Stuff them w/ a feta cheese and oregano mixture. Rub olive oil on the outside and grill to perfection,

Answer 6

grill them on a low heat so that the inside doesn't cook too fast, but you still get the nice little crisp on the outside

Answer 7

Season, let sit at room temp. Put on pre heated grill. About 4min. on each side. Do not over cook, leather.

Answer 8

Cook them individually in aluminum foil.

Answer 9

dip them in melted butter before throwing them on the grill

only cook them to medium
