Grilled Pork Chops



2 Center Cut Pork Chops, bone in, about 1-1/2 inches thick (6 - 8 oz. each)
Montreal Steak Seasoning
Dale's Sauce
Pepper
Canola Oil

Place pork chops on plate and pat dry. Brush top side with Dale's, then sprinkle with Montreal Steak Seasoning and pepper. Turn chops over and repeat on other side.

Let sit on counter for 30 or 45 minutes. You don't want to cook cold chops!

Preheat oven to 400.

Heat a grill pan over med-hi. After the pan is heated, brush with canola oil and lay chops on hot pan. Don't touch them for 1-1/2 minutes. After 1-1/2 minutes, use tongs to turn chops 1/4 turn (this will make the grill marks). Grill for another minute and a half. Turn over and repeat process on the other side.

After searing the outside, place the grill pan in the hot oven. Cook for 10 minutes (or until the chops are done - mine take 10 minutes).

Remove from oven. Place chops on platter, cover with foil, let sit for 5 minutes. (This step is important. Aside from letting the juices rest, the cooking process also finishes now)

Serve.
