Notes
In this recipe, you do not need to marinate the pork to ensure it has flavor. By tenderizing and thoroughly seasoning the meat before cooking, you will have enhanced flavor. The salt helps keep the meat tender, as well as season it. We also suggest resting the meat prior to serving it. This also helps keep the juice in the meat, producing a perfectly juicy pork chop.
Cooking meat can be hard. First, you’re trying to get the meat done well, but not over cooking it at the same time. Over cooking your meat is the number one reason why it will try out. So start there. Get yourself a quality meat thermometer so you can make sure you are reaching the minimum temperature for meat and then go from there based on personal preference. Another important step that we do is allowing the pork chops to rest after cooking. This allows the meat to seal in the juices rather than spilling out at the first cut.
