Ranch Pork Chops
Need an easy but fancy meal? Give these French Cut Ranch Pork Chops a try! These pork chops are a husband pleasing meal in my house. Packed with flavor and cooked perfectly indoors!
Simply season with ranch seasoning, grill, and serve.
I do almost all of my grilling indoors because I don’t enjoy stepping outside to turn a grill on for a few minutes of cooking. What Mom has time for that anyways? With that said, I cook mostly all of my grilled foods in the oven or on a grill pan. I personally think the end result is just as great as a gas grill!
SO HOW DO I DO IT? Heat your grill pan on high. Once hot add your meat and grill for 4 minutes. Then flip over and immediately put the pan inside a 450 degree oven for 4 minutes.
HOW TO MAKE IT A FULL MEAL? Pair it with green beans, asparagus, or brussels sprouts; and a potato variation of your choice.
- 2 french cut pork chops
- 4 tbsp ranch seasoning
- oil
- green vegetable of your choice
- potato variation of your choice
-
Turn on oven 450 degrees.
-
Place a stovetop grill pan on high heat. This is the grill pan I use.
-
Wash and dry the pork chops thoroughly. (NOTE: let the meat sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking)
-
Evenly spread oil on each prok chop.
-
Add two tablespoon of ranch seasoning to each pork chop (1 tbsp on each side).
-
Using tongs, place both pork chops on the grill pan. Let it cook for about 4 minutes. (NOTE: Do not move or flip the meat more than once).
-
Flip the pork chops over and immediately place the grill pan into the hot oven. Let it cook for 4 minutes.
-
Remove the pan from the oven and transfer pork chops to a platter/cutting board/plate. Let the meat REST for 3 minutes before cutting.
-
Enjoy with a green vegetable (I prefer brussels sprouts, asparagus, or green beans) and a potato variation of your choice.
NOTE: Ranch Seasoning is usually high in salt. For that reason, I recommend French Cut Pork Chops. The thicker chops can handle the amount of salt that accompanies the seasoning.
