Weeknight Reverse Seared Pasture Raised Pork Chops in the Oven I Hill Country Homestead Texas
Usually a nice cut of meat, for us, is grilled outdoors in nature on the Trager Grill. Unfortunately grilling isn’t ideal for me to use on nights the boys will be out of the house late for sports. If I’m left to chasing toddlers all evening I need something easy and still healthy and delicious. These pork chops take little prep work and just a hint of acual stove time and still deliver a slightly crispy grilled exterior and a juicy interior. A quick batch of green beans in the oven or pan fried and that’s a meal.
