Description

These Mediterranean pork chops are simple yet tasty. Use an herb rub with sage, rosemary, and more to infuse these easy grilled chops with flavor.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons dried sage, crumbled
2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
1 bay leaf, crumbled
4 bone-in pork rib chops (not pork loin chops) - at least 1/2-inch thick
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1 Mix together sage, rosemary, salt, thyme, fennel, sugar, and bay leaf in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
2 Rub both sides of pork chops with herb mixture and coat them with olive oil. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
3 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
4 Grill chops until they are browned, show good grill marks, and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
