Reverse sear pork chops on the Mini
R2Egg2Q
Posts: 2,136
I found some nice boneless pork chops (about 1 1/4" thick and 1/2 lb+ each) that I seasoned with some Simply Marvelous Sweet & Spicy rub and cooked indirect on the Mini until they reached an internal temp around 115-118. I pulled them off the Mini for a few minutes while the Egg & CI got nice and hot:
Then put them onto the CI for a sear:
Pulled them at an IT of 145 and enjoyed after a few minutes rest:
Thx for looking!

Was it the same reason I never would eat them? Mom thought them done at 200 so she cooked them to 250.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd. -

Admittedly I over cooked pork chops for years until the USDA lowered the minimum recommended temp in 2011. Pork seems so much leaner now than 25-30 years ago so I always figured it was dry because so much fat had been bred out of the pigs. #-oXL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

A perfectly cooked pork chop is tough to beat. I've never considered a reverse sear, but after seeing this I definitely will. Nice job!

You have inspired me to do the same on my Mini. May use Raging River seasoning. Wow, they look so good.SpringramSpring, TexasLBGE and Mini

wow. very nice!!
Good job!

Fred is not gonna like this! ...but the chops do look great!I say this is a valid necro bump, because @Chubbs now has a mini with which to sear some chops.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Gotta try that reverse sear again. Didn't give myself enough time last round and had to crank heat halfway through. Chops look great.MBGE in Charleston
