Notes
Cooking Options for Smoked Pork Chops: 3 great options
Oven Method
Set the oven temperature at 350°F for pre-heating. While the oven is pre-heating, Place a cast-iron skillet, or some other pan that is oven proof too, on the stove to pre-heat. Add a few tablespoons of oil. Fry the pork chops on one side 3-4 minutes. Turn, and place the pan in the oven. Let the chops cook 20 minutes in the oven until the temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.Grilling Method
Pre-heat the grill to medium-high heat. Make sure to brush the grill plates with some vegetable oil so the food does not stick. Place the pork chops on the grill and cook them for approximately 4 minutes until they are caramelizing. Turn and cook the other side until caramelizing; approximately 2-4 minutes. They should reach the temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. No matter which method you use to cook your smoked pork chops, let them rest a few minutes to keep the juices in the meat.Next is the method that I use the most. In the Skillet.
The skillet method is a fantastic way to reheat and add an extra layer of flavor to already smoked pork chops, ensuring they stay juicy and delicious.- Heat oil in a skillet set on medium-high heat. Salt and Pepper if desired.
- Sear Pork Chops approximately 3-4 minutes on one side depending on the thickness of the chop. Until they start to caramelize.
- Turn and cook the other side another 3-4 minutes.
- For best results transfer chops to a platter and tent with foil. Let the meat rest at room temperature a few minutes, so the juices stay in the meat.
