Preparation

These instructions are general guidelines, and cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your Montgomery Meats pork chops.  We recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F for safe consumption.

Thaw Responsibly:

For best results, thaw your Montgomery Meats pork chops in the refrigerator overnight.  Alternatively, you can thaw them using the defrost setting on your microwave, but be sure to cook them immediately after thawing.

Cooking Methods:

Stovetop Sizzle:

  1. Preheat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Pat your Montgomery Meats pork chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until a golden brown crust forms.
  4. To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.
  5. Remove the pork chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more flavorful and tender eating experience.

Grilled Goodness:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-450°F). Clean and lightly oil the grill grates.
  2. Pat your Montgomery Meats pork chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the pork chops on the preheated grill.
  4. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until a nice char forms and the internal temperature reaches 145°F as measured by a meat thermometer.
  5. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

Pair your delicious Montgomery Meats pork chops with a variety of sides for a satisfying meal. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad are all excellent options.
