EASY BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix the melted butter, rosemary, and garlic together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Season the pork chops on both sides with kosher salt and pepper.
• Place a large cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops. Cook for 4 minutes or until golden brown on the first side, flip over and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
• Use a pastry brush and brush the butter, garlic, rosemary mixture generously over the pork chops.
• Place the skillet in the oven and cook the pork chops for 10-12 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 145 degrees F.
• Remove the chops from the oven, place on a plate or cutting board, and cover with aluminum foil or a plate. Let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes and then serve.

GARLIC ROSEMARY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Stir together melted butter, rosemary and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet* over medium high heat.
• Add pork chops and cook until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side (use tongs to flip).
• Using an oven mitt, remove skillet from heat. Spoon or carefully pour butter mixture over pork chops as evenly as possible to coat.
• Using an oven mitt, carefully transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until pork has an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (for medium) in the thickest part of the meat using an instant read thermometer.

GRILLED ROSEMARY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, salt, & pepper, and brush on chops. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
• Preheat grill (I just use my little on-the-counter fake George Foreman grill).
• Grill 5-8 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Let rest 1-2 minutes before serving.

ROSEMARY PORK CHOPS - BRINED

Steps:

• We started with frozen pork chops. I'm unsure how this affects the timing, but it is an easy way to defrost meat!
• To make the brine, mix one cup of hot water with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Mix well.
• Place pork chops into a gallon size ziplock bag, and add 2 cups of cold water. Pour the brine into the bag. shake and massage the bag to mix well.
• Place the meat bag into the refrigerator to sit for 4-6 hours. Occasionally take the bag out and massage the meat a bit to distribute flavors.
• After the brining time, take the meat out to rinse the bag and meat in cold water. If you are not going to cook immediately, place the pork chops back into the bag and refrigerate for another day or so.
• To cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• sprinkle the bread crumbs on the pork chops lightly.
• Sear the pork chops in the oil for a minute, then reduce heat to medium until done. We like it best when the breadcrumbs are nicely browned.
• Enjoy!
