These Mediterranean pork chops are very simple and oh, so good! Best of all, they can be made from ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. It’s my favorite way to do pork chops.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons dried sage, crumbled
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
- 1 bay leaf, crumbled
- 4 bone-in pork rib chops (not pork loin chops) – at least 1/2-inch thick
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Mix together sage, rosemary, salt, thyme, fennel, sugar, and bay leaf in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Rub both sides of pork chops with herb mixture and coat them with olive oil. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 4
Grill chops until they are browned, show good grill marks, and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Tips
To broil the chops: After Step 1, preheat a broiler and move an oven rack 4 inches beneath the heat source. Place chops onto a broiler pan and broil until browned and the edges are crisp, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
