Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3?tablespoons?Diamond Crystal kosher salt?(do not use table salt or sea salt, see notes below)
  • 4?cups?water
  • 4?6 1/2 ounce?center-cut pork chops?(with the bone, trimmed of fat, 1/2 inch thick)

  • 1?teaspoon?onion powder
  • 1/2?teaspoon?dried thyme
  • 1/2?teaspoon?dried sage
  • 1/4?teaspoon?black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine Brine Ingredients:?In a large bowl dissolve salt with water. Add pork chops and cover. Refrigerate the pork chops 2 to 4 hours. Any longer and they will be too salty.
  • Rinse and Dry:?Remove chops from brine; rinse under water and pat dry with paper towels. Discard brine. If you¡¯re not cooking right away you can refrigerate them covered at this point until ready to cook.
  • When ready to grill:?Spray both sides of chops with oil.
  • In a small bowl, mix rub ingredients; rub over both sides of the pork chops. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes while you preheat the grill.
  • Preheat the Grill:?Meanwhile, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Grill:?Oil the grates then grill the chops until they release easily from the grates and are cooked to medium, 155 to 160 degrees, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the chops to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips for Brining Success
  • Keep It Cold:?Always brine in the refrigerator to prevent any bacterial growth.
  • Don¡¯t Over-Brine:?Brining longer than the recommended time will make the meat too salty and mushy. Stick to the recommended times, and if you aren¡¯t ready to cook right way, drain, rinse, pat dry and grill later.
  • Rinse Thoroughly:?Rinsing off the brine after soaking is crucial to avoid overly salty pork chops.
  • Follow Directions As Written:?Use the exact measurements of water and salt as written. If you use less water, it will be saltier.
  • Use Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt:?Other brands of Kosher salt like Mortons, or Sea Salt or table salt will all result in saltier meat because the sodium is higher.
