Ingredients
- 4 Porterhouse Pork Chops (or alternative cut)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons za'atar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- Lebanese Chopped Salad with Chickpeas (photographed on the side)
Steps
- 1
Pre-heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- 2
While grill is pre-heating, let pork chops sit out at room temperature. Brush each side of the pork chops with olive oil then sprinkle with equal amounts of za'atar, kosher salt and pepper.
- 3
Place pork on the grill and let sit until a nice crust forms. (Note: Once the pork hits the grill, do not move for at least 6-7 minutes.)
- 4
Flip pork to the other side and continue cooking until it reaches an internal cooking temperature of 145-160 degrees. The total time will depend on the thickness and type of pork chop you use. (See notes.)
- 5
Remove pork from the pan and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Let rest at least 3 minutes before slicing to ensure juicy pork.
