- Pork chops on the grill makes a great end of summer treat for grilling enthusiasts.
America’s most versatile protein just got a more appetizing price tag. With prices lower than past summers and juicy new pork cut names appearing in meat cases, now you can swap in your favorite pork chop to make grilling more tasty and economical.
Look for new cut names including ribeye and porterhouse pork chops to maximize your dollars spent at the grocery store.
Take full advantage of pork’s value when you fire up Grilled Ribeye (Rib) Pork Chops with Easy Spicy BBQ Sauce and Chive Mashed Potatoes. These juicy, tender and budget-friendly ribeye pork chops smothered in sweet and spicy barbecue sauce are complemented by creamy mashed potatoes for a delicious yet frugal feast.
Add more variety to your family’s menu without adding cost by stocking up on your favorite pork cuts while prices are lower than they’ve been in years. Creative preparation makes it easy to enjoy your savings, not only now but in the future. Plus, you can enjoy all the variety delicious pork offers. For example, purchase ribeye pork chops in bulk, then divide them to be prepared three different ways. Serve one recipe for dinner and freeze the other two for gatherings later in the month.
Keep your chops juicy and tender by grilling to an internal temperature between 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare and 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, followed by a 3-minute rest. Don’t forget to use a digital cooking thermometer to ensure an accurate final temperature.
