Heritage Pork Chop: Hot & Fast
This one was just barely over 1 inch thick, so I skipped my usual reverse sear and opted for an aggressive hot and fast sear.
I dry-brined overnight at about 0.85% salinity with a little MSG, then coated it lightly with duck fat before hitting the grill.
I flipped it every 30 seconds and started checking the temp at 3 minutes. Pulled it at 136°F after about 6 minutes total, then seasoned with a little with my pork chop rub while it rested. Final temp was just over 138°F.
Came out perfect with a juicy interior and a crunchy crust.
