Description

Juicy, perfectly seared pork chops cooked on a Blackstone griddle in under 30 minutes. A few simple seasonings and the right temperature give you a golden crust and a tender center every time.

Ingredients 

  • 4 pork chops, bone-in or boneless (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder, fresh herbs, or your favorite pork marinade

Instructions

  • Prep: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. For even cooking, let them sit at room temperature 20–30 minutes.
  • Preheat: Turn the Blackstone griddle to medium-high and preheat 5–10 minutes, until a drop of water sizzles on the surface.
  • Sear: Place the chops on the hot griddle and cook undisturbed 4–5 minutes, until a golden-brown crust forms.
  • Flip: Turn the chops and cook another 4–5 minutes. Thin chops need less time; thick chops need more.
  • Check: Insert a thermometer into the thickest part, away from the bone. Pull the chops at 145°F (63°C).
  • Rest: Let the chops rest 3–5 minutes before serving so the juices redistribute. Serve hot.

Equipment

  • Blackstone Griddle
  • Instant-read meat thermometer
  • Metal spatula or tongs

Notes

  • Doneness: 145°F is the USDA-recommended safe temperature for juicy pork (followed by a 3-minute rest). Pull a few degrees early to account for carryover cooking.
  • Cook time by thickness: ½-inch chops 2–3 min/side; 1-inch 4–5 min/side; 1½-inch 6–7 min/side.
  • Don't use high heat — it scorches the outside before the inside is done.
  • Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days, or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the griddle or in a covered skillet with a splash of broth.
