We're taking thick bone-in pork chops straight to the wood fire. The Manhattan blend brings Alderwood smoke and orange citrus that plays perfectly with the flames. Since it uses a zero-glycemic base instead of cane sugar, you get a clean, caramelized crust without it scorching to a bitter mess over the coals. We finish it with a quick rosemary butter melted right on the grill.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Salted Perfection "Manhattan Select Blend"
  • 4 thick-cut bone-in pork ribeye chops (about 1.5 inches thick)
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Set up your grill for two-zone cooking using hardwood lump charcoal. You need a fiercely hot side for searing and a cooler side for finishing.
  2. Pat the pork chops completely dry. Rub them down with the avocado oil, then coat them evenly with the Salted Perfection "Manhattan Select Blend". Press the seasoning firmly into the meat so it holds.
  3. Lay the chops directly over the hot coals. Let them sear for about 3 minutes per side to build a dark, heavy crust. If the rendering fat causes major flare-ups, temporarily slide them away from the direct flames.
  4. Move the seared chops to the cooler, indirect side of the grill. Close the lid and let them roast until a meat thermometer hits 140 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest part.
  5. While the pork finishes, set a cast iron skillet right over the hot coals. Drop in the butter and the fresh rosemary sprigs. Let the butter melt and fry the rosemary for about thirty seconds until it smells woodsy and rich, then pull the skillet off the fire.
  6. Pull the chops off the grill, pour the hot rosemary butter directly over them, and let them rest for five minutes before serving. DUNZO!

Tony’s Fine Print

They tell me every recipe needs a little fine print, so here’s mine. I do my best to keep things straight, no surprises and no sneaky allergens. The info you see here is put together with care, capisce? But kitchens are wild places and ingredients do not always behave. Always double-check the labels on what you buy, especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. If something does not look right, trust your gut (and your doctor) before you trust me. Bottom line: I am here to guide, not to diagnose. You cook, you taste, you take responsibility.

Deal? Good. Now let’s eat.
