Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 2 tomahawk pork chops
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- BBQ grill
The olive oil aids in the grilling process while the garlic and rosemary provide savory notes that complement the pork chops. All the ingredients are easily accessible, but if you can’t find tomahawk chops, regular bone-in chops will also do.
How To Make Grilled Tomahawk Pork Chops
- Begin by marinating the pork chops. Mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub this mixture on the chops and let them sit for an hour.
- Preheat your grill to high. Place your chops on the grill and sear each side for 2-3 minutes.
- Lower the grill temperature and continue grilling the chops for another 15-20 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
- Once done, let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
Tips For The Best Results
- Ensure the chops are at room temperature before grilling.
- Don’t skip the resting period; it locks in the juices.
Storage Tips
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Heating before serving will enhance the flavor.
