Grilled Brined Pork Chop is a simple pork chop recipe that you can prepare for lunch or dinner. This recipe will give you a tender and moist pork chop that you will definitely enjoy.
Brining is important for this recipe because this process makes the meat tender and seals all the moisture making it soft and never dry. The marinade is a simple olive oil mixture which also serves as the basting sauce.
When brining meat, make sure that you have a large container to accommodate the meat, ice water, and salt. For pork chops, you can brine from 12 to 24 hours. Remember that brining more than the recommended time will make the meat more salty and less appealing.
The best way to cook brined pork chop is to grill them. Give them a few minutes per side to brown while basting the other side and then you can enjoy eating with a vinegar dip along with rice.
