Smoked Pork Chops Recipe with Reverse Sear

Step 1

Preheat smoker to 225 degrees (F) using oak or apple wood.

Step 2

Coat pork chops with olive oil and liberally apply the dry rub.

Step 3

Place the pork chop on the smoker and cook until internal temperature is 130 degrees (F) and then remove (about 45 minutes).

Step 4

When your temperature gets close to 130 degrees (F), preheat large cast iron skillet on stove top.

Step 5

Place butter into the preheated skillet, then chop, then herbs.

Step 6

Butter will melt quickly, be sure to quickly start basting the pork chops with the melted butter in the pan. Use a large spoon to do this. Flip after 2 minutes and repeat the basting for 2 more minutes.

Step 7

Remove pork chops from pan and let rest for 10 minutes tented with aluminum foil to let the juices redistribute. The internal temperature of the pork should be about 135 - 140 degrees (F).

Step 8

Cut and serve with your favorite sauce, we used the brown butter sauce from the pan. Just drizzle it right over the chops.
