Pork Chops - Center-Cut

Center-Cut Pork Chops Our Center-Cut Pork Chops are a prime selection from the center of the pork loin, ensuring a generous loin eye in each chop. These bone-in chops are cut with precision to enhance flavor and juiciness. Every chop comes from our 100% pasture-raised hogs, raised in the open fields of southwest Michigan. This careful and ethical farming approach guarantees a naturally rich and satisfying taste in every bite.

Cooking Tips:

1. Stove-Top Searing: Bring the chops to room temperature and season as you like. Heat a skillet with oil over medium-high and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until they develop a golden crust.
2. Oven Roasting: Season the chops and sear them quickly on high heat. Then, roast in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes. They're done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
3. Grilling: Preheat your grill and cook the chops over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side. Let them rest briefly after grilling.
