How do I grill bone-in pork chops?

Herb Rubbed Bone-In Pork Chops

Pork chops require a little more effort than grilling steak or burgers. When cooking beef, the outside can have a nice charred crust and still be slightly rare in the middle. Pork, on the other hand, needs to be cooked more evenly to ensure it is the proper temperature throughout. Stick to a medium setting on your grill to maintain a lower temperature. This allows the pork to cook completely and evenly.

How To Make A Compound Butter

Compound Butter

When you want to make compound butter, it sounds more complicated than it really is. When you incorporate compound butter into your recipes, however, it can take the flavor to a whole new level. The process is actually really simple. Start by using a softened stick of butter. Next, mash it together with the herbs and spices you want to incorporate. Then, scrape all that goodness onto a piece of parchment paper and roll it into a log shape. Seal it and put it in the fridge to firm back up again. Next, simply slice off little pats of herbaceous butter to put on meats, vegetables, fish, or even on warm bread. In addition, You can also slice off a piece to add to a pan before cooking to infuse the flavors.

What side dishes go well with pork?

If you're going to be grilling anyway, you might as well grill up some vegetables to go with it! Simply slice up vegetables, spray with cooking spray and season the same way as the protein choice. This makes a delicious side dish for your meal. I love using an all in one slicer to easily prep my veggies.

My personal recommendation is to get one like this one on Amazon by Fullstar. It has 7 different blades to allow you to slice, dice, chop, grate, spiralize, julienne or ribbon cut your veggies! I prefer to slice my squash, dice my bell peppers and fine chop my onions. With this handy tool, there's even a storage container underneath to minimize the mess. For example, I use the container to season and prepare before throwing the veggies into a grill basket alongside the meat.

Product Recommendations:

However, keep in mind when assembling the ingredients for the herb rub that it is more of a template than a hard-and-fast rule. We aren’t going for dainty precision with this technique, just a uniform infusion of robust herbal flavors.
