Pork Chop Tips:

• Score the fat caps to avoid boneless pork chops from curling up.
• Monitor the internal temperature of the pork chop to ensure it cooks to your preferred doneness.
• To guarantee a tender and juicy pork chop, do not grill past 140 degrees internal temperature.
• Always rest a grilled pork chop for 5-10 minutes. This allow the juices to redistribute inside the meat, giving you a better final product. This process will bring up the temp to 145 degrees which is safe for consumption.

Step 1: Fry onion strips.

One of the great parts of this grilled pork chop sandwich is the different textures you get with each bite. One of those textures comes from the homemade crispy onions. Yes, you can use french’s crispy onions, but it’s so much better when made fresh at home.

To get started, split an onion in half and then slice into long strips. In a mixing bowl, add flour and Dad’s All Purpose seasoning and blend the 2 ingredients together. Drop in the onion slices and cover them in the flour mixture.

Set the grill for direct heat and place a cast iron skilled directly on the grates. Add enough olive oil to cover half the pan and wait until oil heats up to 375 degrees.

Carefully, add the seasoned onion slices into the oil and wait until they turn a golden brown color before removing.

Place the crispy onion strips on a wire rack or paper towel to allow any access oil to drip off.

Step 2: Grill pork chops hot and fast.

When shopping for the boneless pork chops, make sure they are not too thick. You want to easily bite into the sandwich.

Let the pork chops get to room temperature and season both sides with Dad’s All Purpose seasoning.

Preheat the grill to 375 degrees and set it for direct heat. It is very important to make sure the grill is nice and hot before you start the grilling process.

Sear the pork chops 5 minutes total flipping them halfway through the cook. Before removing them off the grill, brush on your BBQ sauce of choice on both sides and let it caramelize over the top. The sauce will add sweetness to the meat. Once they hit an internal temperature of 140 degrees, remove them off the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Dad’s Tip: Removing the pork chops at 140 degrees will ensure tender and juicy meat. It is very easy to overcook pork and will leave the pork chops tough and dry.
