Equipment

Oven Safe Cooking Rack
Meat Thermometer

Ingredients

2 pounds Pork Chops (1.5"-2" thick)
2 tsp Salt
1 ½ tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. While the oven is preheating, let the pork chops sit at room temperature for 25-30 minutes to take off the chill.
Pat the meat dry with a paper towel. Season the pork chops with your favorite seasonings.
Place the pork chops on a wire rack over a baking sheet and place in the oven.
Cook the pork in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit, about 30-40 minutes. Use an oven-safe kitchen thermometer for accurate results.
Remove the pork from the oven and place foil over the top for 15 minutes.
Pat the pork chops dry again, then place the oil in a cast iron skillet and turn to medium-high heat. Once the oil is very hot, sear the pork chops on each side for 60 seconds per side. You can also do this on the grill or grill pan over high heat.
Remove the pork from the heat and add foil back to the top. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

On a pellet grill

Preheat your pellet grill to 225°F. Season the thick-cut pork chop with your favorite rub, then place it on the grill for 45 minutes to an hour until the internal temperature reaches 110°F. Increase the grill temperature to 450°F, then sear each side of the pork chop for 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let the pork chop rest for 5 minutes before serving.

On a gas grill

Preheat one side of your gas grill to low heat, leaving the other side off. Season the thick-cut pork chop with your favorite rub, then place it on the cool side of the grill and cook for 45 minutes to an hour until the internal temperature reaches 110°F. Move the pork chop to the hot side and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let the pork chop rest for 5 minutes before serving.
