A 2-step method for delicious tender chops. I prefer the grill method of finishing the chops, but if it's not grilling weather, these can be finished in the oven. Cook time does not include marinating overnight.

  • For a more flavorful pork chop, marinate it in a mixture of your favorite herbs, spices, and liquids for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you're using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat and cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired internal temperature.
  • If you're using a skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat and cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired internal temperature.
