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).
