4 servings

  • 4 large center-cut bone-in pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • Preheat grill to medium or medium-high heat. Brush pork chops on each side with a few drops of vegetable oil.
  • Grill chops until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F (60 degrees C), turning to evenly brown on each side. Transfer to platter and allow to rest 5 minutes.
