→ Cooking Fat & Garnish

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
# How to Make It:
01 -
Remove pork chops from refrigeration and allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to promote even cooking.
02 -
Preheat grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. If grilling, brush grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
03 -
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired.
04 -
Rub the prepared spice mix onto both sides of pork chops, ensuring a full and even coating.
05 -
Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned pork chops and distribute to coat all surfaces thoroughly.
06 -
If using a skillet, add butter and allow to melt. Place chops in skillet and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 63°C.
07 -
For the grill, place pork chops over direct heat. Grill 6–8 minutes per side, flipping once, until well-marked and cooked through.
08 -
Remove cooked pork chops and rest off heat for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
09 -
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For intensified flavor, marinate the chops in seasoning and olive oil for several hours or overnight.
02 -
Pairing with sides such as mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables enhances the dish.
03 -
If using leftovers, slice pork for salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
04 -
Multiply or reduce quantities easily to serve larger or smaller groups.
05 -
For enhanced smokiness, utilize a smoker instead of grill or skillet.
