Our 14oz Frenched Prime Pork Chops are thick, flavorful cuts, perfect for grilling, pan-searing, or oven roasting. Here’s how to make the most of them depending on what you want to do:
🔥 1. Pan-Seared + Oven-Finished Method (Best for Juicy, Golden Chops)
What you need:
-
2 thick (14oz) prime pork chops
-
Salt & pepper
-
Garlic powder or fresh garlic
-
Fresh thyme or rosemary
-
1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp butter
How to cook:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
-
Pat chops dry and season generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Sear in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil — about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
-
Add butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the chops for flavor.
-
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 6–10 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 140–145°F (60–63°C).
-
Rest 5–10 minutes before serving so the juices redistribute.
🔥 2. Grilled Pork Chops (For Smoky Charred Flavor)
How to cook:
-
Preheat grill to medium-high (400–450°F).
-
Brush chops with oil and season with salt, pepper, and your favorite rub (e.g., smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic).
-
Grill 4–5 minutes per side, then move to indirect heat and continue cooking until internal temp hits 140–145°F.
-
Rest before slicing.
