Ways to Season Pork Chops
There are two ways to season the pork chops to ensure all the great flavors are absorbed into the meat well. However, determining the best seasoning for your meat depends on your chosen dish.
For example, when grilling pork chops, brine seasoning is more appropriate.
- Pork Chop Brine – This is basically immersing the pork chops in a salt and water solution, along with other seasonings and spices, for a couple of hours. It adds flavor to the pork meat, helps the pork retain its moisture, and tenderizes the meat at the same time. Because of the pork chop’s high moisture content from the brine, they won’t get dry as quickly while cooking.
- Pork Chop Seasoning – Using a dry rub like pork chop seasoning is best when you’re tight on time, and you’re going to cook the pork chops right away. Because they are “dry” pork chop marinades, they stick to the meat easily and get absorbed quickly, too. But of course, marinating them for a longer time means more flavorful pork chops. However, since they don’t have any liquid on them, the meat is not being tenderized.
In conclusion, I highly suggest brining them first and then rubbing them with dry pork chop seasoning before cooking. Doing this ensures tender, juicy, and tasty pork chops. 😉
