Pork Loin Chops

A pork chop, like other meat chops, is a loin cut taken perpendicular to the spine of the pig and is usually a rib or part of a vertebra. Pork chops are unprocessed and leaner than other cuts. Chops are commonly served as an individual portion, and can be accompanied with applesauce, vegetables, and other sides.

Cooking Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Wash and pat dry chops with paper towels. Sprinkle chops with salt and dry rub on both sides.
• Heat a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet to medium high. Add vegetable oil. Sear chops for 3 minutes on each side.
• Transfer skillet to the oven for 10 minutes or until pork chops register a temperature between 140°F to 145°F (60°C to 63°C).
• Allow chops to rest for a few minutes before serving.
