How to make it

  1. Brine the Pork Chop: In a large bowl, dissolve the salt in the water. Add the pork chop and ensure it's fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  2. Prepare for Grilling: Remove the pork chop from the brine and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and discard the brine.
  3. Apply the Dry Rub: Lightly spray both sides of the pork chop with olive oil. In a small bowl, mix together the dry rub ingredients. Apply the rub evenly to both sides of the pork chop. Let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  4. Grill the Pork Chop: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly, then grill the pork chop. Cook until the pork chop releases easily from the grates and reaches an internal temperature of 155 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  5. Rest and Serve: Transfer the grilled pork chop to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
