Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for extra flavor)

For the Seasoning:

  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme (optional)

Optional Marinade (For Extra Juiciness):

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Prep the Pork Chops:

  • Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
  • If marinating, mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl, add the chops, and let them sit for 30 minutes to 2 hours in the fridge.
  • If skipping the marinade, rub both sides of the pork chops with olive oil and coat them evenly with the seasoning mix.

2. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle:

  • Set your Blackstone to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
  • Lightly oil the griddle surface.

3. Sear the Pork Chops:

  • Place the pork chops on the griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until a deep golden crust forms.
  • Add butter to the griddle during the last 2 minutes for extra flavor.

4. Check the Temperature & Rest:

  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness:
    • Medium-rare: 145°F (juicy, slightly pink)
    • Medium-well: 155°F
    • Well-done: 160°F
  • Remove the pork chops and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Serving Ideas:

  • Serve with grilled veggies, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
  • Brush with BBQ sauce in the last minute of cooking for a smoky, caramelized finish.
  • Slice and serve over rice or pasta for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • Want a spicier kick? Add ½ tsp cayenne pepper to the seasoning.
  • For extra tenderness, marinate overnight for even more flavor infusion.
  • Leftovers? Store in an airtight container and reheat gently on the griddle or stovetop.
