The Perfect Seared Pork Chop!
But before you even think about cooking that chop I've got some tips for finding the perfect cut.more
#1 Get a Thick Cut: I like to get a 1 1/2 to 2-inch thick pork chop.
#2 Color Matters: Look for pork that is closer to the dark pink color. This is an indication of the moisture content. A darker reddish pink color will have more moisture in it. Try to look for at least a 3 or above on the Pork Scale.
#3 Pork has Marbling too: Ya'll are probably familiar with marbling in steaks and other beef cuts. But pork has marbling too. Marbling are the thin white flecks throughout meat- which are going to ensure tenderness and juiciness. Be sure to look for a cut with a lot of marbling but not thick white lines of gristle.
