How to Grill Pork Chops on the Stove
To make ranch pork chops, you need to get your seasoning onto the meat before it hits the pan.
Give your chops a drizzle of oil, a hearty dose of ranch seasoning, some paprika if you’re into it, and toss.
The more that you can rub those flavors into your chops, the better! Then, you’re ready to get to grillin’.
Of course, if you have a real grill, go for it! When I made these, I cooked them over the stove on my grill pan, 6-8 minutes on each side, until they were just slightly pink in the center.
And, even without a ‘real’ grill, these still have some impressive grill marks!
Personally, I NEED to have that delicious char, and grilling really helps the ranch flavor stick to the meat.
Serve these grilled pork chops with your family’s favorite veggies, pasta, or whole grain, and you’ve got an easy weeknight dinner! And a darn tasty dinner, that you can serve again in new ways.
